Grant Description

On May 14, 2019, the Chinese Government donated a series of vehicles and cash to support Niger's hosting of the Conference of Heads of State and Government, a special African Union (AU) summit to be hosted in July 2019 in Niamey. The donation included 36 30-seat minibuses, 30 luxury automobiles, and 100 escort motorcycles.

All the vehicles were Chinese-made, and the Chinese Government was set to send a maintenance team to ensure the vehicles would work during the summit.

The donation also included a check of FCFA 85 million francs (€130,000 EUR) to finance the purchase of computer equipment and photocopiers by the AU Niger 2019 Agency. The monetary value of the vehicles is unknown.

This donation was made within the framework of an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) signed by the Chinese and Nigerien governments on July 25, 2016 and an exchange of notes signed by the two governments on November 30, 2018.
