📋 Staff Comments

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.On the same day as this ETCA was signed, letters of exchange pertaining to the third phase of 'medical technical cooperation,' related to the Princess Margaret Hospital according to the Jamaica Observer, were also signed (see 'Agreement Signed on Economic and Technical Cooperation between China and Dominica'). This is the second agreement referred to in 'China provides EC$18 m for projects in Dominica' and other articles, not an agreement that provided additional funding.
