Grant Description

On September 6, 2018, the Chinese Government signed an economic and technical cooperation agreement (ETCA) providing funding to the Government of Togo for unspecified projects. It is unclear whether this is a grant or interest-free loan. The monetary value of this ETCA is also unclear.

📋 Staff Comments

The Presidency of Togolese Republic source says that the two sides signed a series of documents including an 'agricultural cooperation agreement,' a 'partnership agreement between the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of China and Togo,' and an agreement providing an 'uncompromising donation' to the Government of Togo. It is unclear if or whether any of these are referring to the ETCA captured in this TUFF record.
