China donates 30 million CNY for unspecified projects

Two Maldivian newspapers, Miadhu and Haveeru, reported in July 2007 that, during his visit to Beijing, Maldives Foreign Minister Ahmed Shaheed signed an agreement for China to provide 30 million RMB worth of "free aid" to Maldives. It is unclear whether the funds have been disbursed and whether they have been used for specific projects.

The status has been coded as Pledge because there are not many details available regarding the type of agreement that was signed and the project was only reported by two news sources.

The project has been flagged as an umbrella project because it is unclear which projects would receive funding from this agreement. 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.
