Grant Description

On August 28, 2009, an opening ceremony was held in Mahalapye, Botswana for a Youth Activity Center, to which the Chinese embassy donated 80,000 BWP.

Chinese funded-enterprises, presumably including Jiangxi International Economic and Technical Cooperation given their attendance, also donated office equipment and fitness facilities. Although it opened in 2009, it is unclear when the Chinese donation was made.

📋 Staff Comments

The African Economic Outlook report stated the contributed amount was 10 million USD, but this seems unlikely.
