Grant Description
In July 2013, China's National Development and Reform Commission and the Dominican Ministry of Public Works, Energy and Ports signed the Memorandum of Understanding Concerning the Provision of Goods for Addressing Climate Change and donated 2,500 LED solar powered street lamps to Dominica, to be installed under the Canefield cliff on the Dr.
Nicholas Liverpool and the Edward Oliver Le Blanc highways. The project was valued at approximately $9.0 million and made driving at night safer and more comfortable. The lights were reported to arrive in Roseau "in a few months," as of September 2013. According to Dominica's Budget Address for FY 2015/2016, the donation has been completed.
The project was expected to be implemented over a three year period.
This was part of a larger project to install 4,851 solar lights, which had an overall cost of 34 million USD and would be implemented in multiple phases. It appears the first phase involved the installation of the 2,500 lights granted by the Chinese government.
Staff Comments
Transaction amount assumed to be XCD, not USD, because it is taken from the Government of Dominica's Budget Address.
