Grant Description

In 2022, the Chinese Embassy in Kiribati established the Kiribati Sustainable Development Fund (SDF). Kiribati enterprises could submit their projects to the fund from mid-March to April 22nd. The fund was for small grant amounts, solely for the project itself and not including follow-up costs. It focused on sustainable development, income generation, and livelihood improvement.

If the application is approved, a MOU may be signed between the applicant, the Embassy, and related parties.

The Embassy will provide funding in a cheque to approved projects of a registered organization in one-off payments or by installments. It is unknown what projects, if any, were funded by this project, or the total monetary amount of the fund. The SDF was also carried out in 2021 (see Record ID#97256) and 2023 (Record ID#97257).
