Grant Description
According to the Government of Mauritania’s Development Assistance Database (DAD), the Chinese Government and the Government of Mauritania signed an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) on December 29, 2010, which committed RMB 60 million of grant funding for the 172 km Aftout Echarghui Road Project.
The purpose of this project was to open up the poverty-stricken southern areas of Mauritania.
