According to 'Relance économique : La Chine apporte une contribution de 32 milliards de Fcfa,' China intended to provide a 400 million RMB grant and a 4 billion CFA interest-free loan to Mali in 2013. This combination of a grant and an interest-free loan is often delivered via an ETCA, though there is no clear sign that this ETCA was the one that provided said 400 million RMB grant and 4 billion CFA interest-free loan. As a result, the transaction amount for this project entry remains blank.
