In 2003, the Chinese Government provided a grant to the Government of Niger for the Général Seyni Kountché Stadium Renovation Project. The monetary value of this grant commitment is unknown.

The project involved the renovation of Général Seyni Kountché Stadium, which was previously constructed during the 1980s with financial support from the Chinese Government, in preparation for the December 2005 Francophone Games (Jeux de la Francophonie).

More specifically, it involved repairs to existing facilities, the construction of some new facilities, and the replacement of an electronic scoreboard. 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.
