Grant Description

On July 13, 2017, the Chinese Government fulfilled an earlier pledged to donate RMB 150 million of military assistance to the Armed Forces of Ghana and the Ghana Police Service.

A third of the grant proceeds (RMB 50 million) was earmarked to support the Armed Forces of Ghana with financial aid and logistics in order to facilitate its peacekeeping activities (captured in Record ID#88156). The remaining RMB 100 million was earmarked for use by the Ghana Police Service (captured in this project, ID#60138).

The donation was formally signed over during Ghana's Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia's visit to China on July 13, 2017. Some of the funding through this grant was reportedly used to train and educate Ghanaian service members in China.

Six armed forces personnel were to be sent to China to receive training on how to use a recently donated set of boats. 28 men and women from the Ghanaian Navy, Army, and Air Force also received full scholarships to study security and defense in China
