📋 Staff Comments

As ETCAs involve grants and interest-free loans, any financing from this project would be ODA-like. As an ETCA, which is a financing mechanism specific to China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), AidData has coded MOFCOM as the specific Chinese Government institution responsible for providing the funds.
