Grant Description

On October 9, 2003, the Chinese Government released the last funds of a US$2 million grant that it extended to the Zimbabwean Government for its land reform program in 2002.

The first portions of the grant were previously released at an unknown date to help Zimbabwean farmers purchase agricultural equipment. The remaining funds will be used to acquire seeds, fertilizer, and farming mechanisms. The Chinese Government was represented by its Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Zhang Xianyi.

Status updates on the delivery of purchased goods from the grant are unclear.

This grant was one of total US$8.3 million in grants offered to Zimbabwe over the 2002-2003 period, but the project(s) that were appropriated with the remaining US$6 million are unknown.
