Grant Description

As part of the cooperation agreements signed between China and Burkina Faso after the re-establishment of a diplomatic relationship between the two nations, in 2018, China started providing Burkina Faso with agricultural technical assistance. This assistance includes large-scale irrigation facilities as well as agricultural advice and support services.

A team of 7 agricultural experts was dispatched in late June 2018. "The agricultural technology team is the most disciplined and successful Chinese aid team in Burkina Faso with the widest reach across the country," said Li Jian, China's Ambassador to Burkina Faso.

The first agricultural aid project completed its 1-year term on June 30, 2019, and after that, the experts will stay for another 2-years in Burkina Faso for the second aid mission (see Record ID#88762).
