Project narrative
In 2021, the Chinese Embassy in Kiribati established the Kiribati Sustainable Development Fund (SDF) with AUD 2,050,000. Kiribati enterprises could submit their projects to the fund from late January to March 31st. The fund was for small grant amounts, solely for the project itself and not including follow-up costs. It focused on sustainable development, income generation, and livelihood improvement. If the application is approved, a MOU may be signed between the applicant, the Embassy, and related parties. The Embassy will provide funding in a cheque to approved projects of a registered organization in one-off payments or by installments. This project was part of a larger June 2021 livelihood grants project (see Record ID#92651). It is referred to as "small grant". The SDF was also carried out in 2020 (see Record ID#97310), 2022 (see Record ID#90055), and 2023 (#97257).
