📋 Staff Comments

As ETCAs involve grants and interest-free loans, any financing from this project would be ODA-like. It is likely that the flow type was a grant, as no record exists for an loan from an ETCA in the Central Bank of Bolivia's external debt registry for 2015. 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 financing.
