Grant Description

In April 2013, the National Development Reform Commission (NDRC) of the People's Republic of China donated 24 million CNY worth of LED lights to Maldives.

Vice Secretary of NDRC and Maldives' Minister of Energy and Environment attended a handover ceremony of China's donation of 250,000 LED energy-saving tube lights on April 1, 2013.

The lights were donated by NDRC "in order to assist in combating the negative effects of climate change." Reportedly the lights have been distributed to over 500 institutes across the islands. 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.
