📋 Staff Comments

This project is also known as the EN220 Road Rehabilitation Project. The Chinese project title is 威热省Quitexe-Ambuila公路重建项目 or 威热省QUITEXE道路 or 对威热省道路修缮工程项目. The Portuguese project title is Reabilitação Da Estrada Quitexe/Ambuíla/Quipedro.For the timing being, AidData records the face value of the CDB loan ($10 million) that is reported in the database of Chinese loan commitments that SAIS-CARI released in July 2020. However, the value of the commercial contract for this project is $55,718,226, so it is possible that SAIS-CARI misreported the face value. This issue requires further investigation.This project might be funded by one of 2 CDB MLFAs captured by AidData, a 2014 CDB MLFA (#66806) and a 2015 CDB MLFA (#66847).
