📋 Staff Comments
  1. This project is also known as Project Nassib.
  2. Under direct supervision of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, CMG is a conglomerate with three business platforms of non-financial industries, financial services, investment and capital operation. CMG's non-financial industries cover ports, toll roads, shipping, logistics, real estate, zone development, offshore engineering and trade.
  3. The Social Housing Project is being financed as part of the CMG’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, so for the time being AidData assumes that CMG is responsible for project implementation.
