China donates $250,000 USD to FAO for rehabilitating fisheries in Seychelles following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami

On 26 December 2004, a severe earthquake near the Indonesian island of Sumatra triggered an enormous tsunami in the Indian Ocean that hit many countries, including Seychelles.

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Financial Tracking Service (flow ID #26061), on 11 January 2005, the Chinese government donated $250,000 USD to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) for rehabilitating artisanal fisheries in Seychelles.

Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
