📋 Staff Comments

This project is known as 'Economic and Technical Cooperation, 2010 - CT Scan devices for Governmental Hospitals' in the Lebanese Council for Development and Reconstruction's (CDR) database. The agreement number is 6876 (see 'CDR Funding - Economic and Technical Cooperation, 2010 - CT Scan devices for Governmental Hospitals').CDR (on pg.1 of 'Aid Coordination Newsletter Issue 27 February 2010') reports the USD equivalent of this RMB 20 million grant as $4.4 million USD, but the RMB 15 million grant as $2.2 million USD. While the latter appears to be accurate, the $4.4 million USD does not. In 'CDR Funding - Economic and Technical Cooperation, 2010 - CT Scan devices for Governmental Hospitals' CDR reports a $3,133,930 USD equivalent figure, which AidData has determined to be more accurate of the actual USD equivalent.As this is 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 this grant.
