Grant Description

📋 Staff Comments

This 2007 project is not marked as umbrella. AidData's dataset includes one loan project in 2005 to Tanzania before this debt forgiveness, but the 2005 loan was not set to enter repayment until 2015, so the 2005 project was not included in the 2007 loan forgiveness captured in this project. There is therefore no risk of double-counting
