Grant Description
On July 24, 2008, the Governments of Liberia and China signed a memorandum of understanding under which China would lead the construction of three rural schools in Liberia.
One school was built in Suhen Mecca Town of Bomi County, the other two were built in New George Town and Paynesville of Montserrado County.
The Chinese implementation unit Hunan Construction Engineering Group Corporation and the Minister of Education, the Acting Minister of Finance, the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of Justice jointly signed the project implementation contract. The estimated cost of the schools is US$2.2 million, financed through a Chinese grant.
The construction of three China-aided rural primary schools began on July 28, 2008 and was completed on May 10, 2009. The handover ceremony was held on May 25, 2009.
The project is an expression of China's promise at the China-Africa Forum's Beijing Summit in November 2006, where China promised to build over 100 rural schools in Africa.
