Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On December 2, 2008, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Cambodian Ministry of Interior to provide $300,000 USD in grant assistance. The funds were intended to support police reform, equipment upgrades, and improvements in anti-terrorism and anti-narcotics operations, as well as international crime cooperation. According to Cambodian Interior Ministry officials, the funds would be used to purchase police equipment from Chinese suppliers and be incorporated into the ministry’s regular budget.

Staff comments

1. This $300,000 USD grant from the Chinese Ministry of Public Security to the Cambodian Ministry of Interior was formalized via a Memorandum of Understanding signed on December 2, 2008. While China has funded other police-related aid projects in Cambodia, such as donations of motorcycles, firearms, and fire trucks, these projects appear to be separate initiatives and are not formally tied to this 2008 agreement. 2. This project has been coded as “Pipeline: Commitment” because there is no publicly available evidence that the $300,000 grant from China’s Ministry of Public Security to Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior was disbursed or implemented.
