Grant Description

In January 2002, Chinese President Jiang Zemin, Prime Minister Zhu Rongji signed an agreement to provide Afghanistan emergency aid package worth 30 million Chinese Yuan during the visit of Afghan interim leader Hamid Karzai.

The aid package includes medicine, medical equipment, stationery, and sports products is for support of the temporary government.

In March 2002, Northern Afghanistan was hit by Hindu Kush earthquakes, so part of the aid was also used for rehabilitation. The handover ceremony was held on March 26, 2002. 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.
