Staff Comments
It is likely that the grant funding committed by this ETCA was used in various Chinese Government-funded projects after 2014.As this is an ETCA, which is a financing mechanism specific to China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), AidData has coded MOFCOM as the specific Chinese Government institution responsible for providing this grant.
