Chinese government grants 30 million RMB through September 2012 ETCA (Linked to Record ID#69468 and #59325)

On September 28, 2012, the governments of China and Ecuador signed an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) that provided a 30 million RMB grant to the government of Ecuador.

The grant was unallocated at the time the agreement was signed, and banking procedures were to be implemented by the Central Bank of Ecuador and China Development Bank.

On November 30 and December 16, 2015, the two governments signed and countersigned Letters of Exchange that committed funds from this ETCA, in addition to three others, to be used for the acquisition of a batch of mobile container scanners (see Record ID#69468). The equipment and related costs were worth 52.2 million RMB total.

Although the exact breakdown of funds was between this ETCA and the others that funded it are unknown, the amount utilized was at least 6.35 million RMB (see comments for calculation).

On July 27, 2016, the two governments signed Letters of Exchange committing funds from this ETCA, in addition to several other ETCAs, to be used for the project "Donation of Equipment for the Strengthening of the Integrated Security Service ECU 911 in the Coastal and Rural Areas" ("Dotación de Equipamiento para el Fortalecimiento del Servicio Integrado de Seguridad ECU-911 en el Litoral y Areas Rurales," see #59325).

The equipment and related costs were worth 97 million RMB total, though it is unknown what amount of the project cost was covered by this ETCA grant, and how much was covered by the other grants. It is unknown if additional sub-projects were financed through this grant.
