This grant commitment should not confused with Project ID#54768, which captures a grant for the same park at a different time and for a different amount.
The project appears to be broken up into two phases: Phase I and Phase II. Details of the different phases could not be found, but in the Grenada Budget Speech for 2017 the spending details for Phase II were identified and in the 'explanation' column 'Kazakhstan' was listed, presumably as the provider of some of the funding. The Chinese government grants were not listed.
