Grant Description

In October 2023, the China International Development Cooperation Agency pledged to donate 25,900,000 NAD of food aid to Namibia.

This pledge came after the Namibian government announced it would be increasing its spending on developmental programs in agriculture, water provision, and food aid as 26% of Namibians were facing food insecurity from drought.

With over 600,000 households facing food insecurity, China wished to continue its bilateral relations with Namibia and assist its citizens.

📋 Staff Comments

Although total price estimates vary from 25.9 million NAD to 31 million NAD, AidData assumes the 25.9 million NAD price given by the Chinese Embassy is the most accurate.
AidData estimates the commitment date to be 10/1/2023 although there is no specific date in October 2023 available at this time.
This is coded as a pledge since all sources reference the donation as a 'pledge' or 'announcement of future donation', and no other sources have been found confirming the donation was received in Namibia.
