Grant Description

According to the UN World Food Programme (WFP), in August 2011 the Chinese government committed to donating RMB 103,200,000 ($16 million USD) to the WFP to relieve the humanitarian crises caused by droughts in southern Somalia (UNOCHA: Financial Tracking Service Flow ID: 87763). WFP used the grant to purchase 15,000 metric tons of food that was supplied to 2.2 million people in affected regions.
