Staff Comments
- The Chinese project title is 布卡武机场路翻建项目. The French project title is Réhabilitation de la route de l'aéroport de Bukavu de 23 kilomètres.
- In 2006, the Chinese Government provided a $4.5 million grant for various projects (project #407), including the Bukavu Airport Road, but this appears to be a distinct grant. AidData codes China Ministry of Commerce as the funding organization based on that organization's involvement as mentioned in '援刚果（金）布卡武机场路翻建项目通过竣工验收.'
