Grant Description

On April 23, 2004, China pledged to grant US$11 million to Liberia to repair and renovate the SKD sports complex and to rehabilitate the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to the Agence France Presse source.

According to the National Transitional Government source, on April 28, 2005, the financing for the SKD sports complex and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had still not been distributed and was a "hard pledge" of 10 million USD.

On October 31, 2006, China and Liberia signed an agreement on economic and technical cooperation that included a grant of 40,000,000 CNY (about $5 million USD) for the completion of 'various projects' including the Foreign Ministry building. Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve.

Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
