📋 Staff Comments

As ETCAs involve grants and interest-free loans, any financing from this project would be concessional. Additionally, ETCAs are financing mechanisms specific to China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), so AidData has coded MOFCOM as the specific Chinese Government institution responsible for providing this grant
