📋 Staff Comments

This project appears to be distinct from Record ID#34898 and Record ID#34784, but it is unclear if the CDB financial commitment captured by Record ID#64677 captures supplemental funding for one of those projects or an entirely separate project. This issue warrants further investigation.
The Chinese project title is 安哥拉甘德杰拉斯灌溉.
In order to eliminate the risk of double-counting financial commitments, AidData does not record a transaction value (commitment amount) for the CDB loan that supported the Ganjelas Irrigated Perimeter Construction Project. This borrowing (drawdown) under the $1.5 billion common terms agreement is almost certainly already captured via Record ID#67.
This CDB loan is not included in the database of Chinese loan commitments that SAIS-CARI released in July 2020.
