Grant Description
On October 9, 2014 the Chinese Government signed an agreement to donate $2 million to Guinea through the World Food Program, as a part of a larger $6 million USD grant to help stave off food shortages in the three African countries worst affected by the Ebola virus.
WFP China representative Brett Rierson said the money would be spent on one month of emergency food rations of mainly rice, lentils and yellow peas for 300,000 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
On December 24, 2014, the Chinese Ambassador to Guinea, Bian Jianqia, attended a handover ceremony for the donation of 2 tons of food aid to Ebola patients in Guinea worth $2 million.
According to UN OCHA financial tracking system, China split $6 million USD equally to aid Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone (see projects #45060 and #44593 for the donations to Liberia and Sierra Leone). This is part of the aid package from China to three West African countries in that year in response to Ebola (#36373).
