Grant Description

On 5 July 2012, Chinese ambassador to Niger, Xia Huang, donated 1,182 tons of rice to address food insecurity in Niger.

The Chinese donation is dedicated to reinforcing the country’s cereal stock which was depleted after poor harvests in 2011, through the filling of warehouses of the Niger Food Product Office (OPVN).

This was financed under an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement signed earlier the same year (umbrella Record ID#58645). 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.
