Grant Description

On April 7, 2017, the Chinese Embassy in Kenya (中国驻肯尼亚大使馆), the Kenya Chinese Economic and Trade Association (肯尼亚中国经贸协会), and the Kenya Overseas Chinese Federation (肯尼亚华人华侨联合会) jointly donated 144 tons of grain, including maize flour, wheat flour, and cooking oil, with a total value of $154,664 (about Ksh 16 million) to Kenya for drought relief.

The aid went to nine counties in most need of support following the drought (Turkana, Marsabit, Isiolo, Lamu, Baringo, Laikipia, Kitui, Samburu, and Narok East).

📋 Staff Comments

This donation is in addition to the drought relief food aid provided by the Chinese Government in April 2017 (see Project ID#59684).Since AidData does not know how much the Chinese Embassy itself contributed to the overall donation, AidData does not record a transaction amount for this project.
