Grant Description

On June 1, 2020, China donated CFA590 million (roughly 1 million USD) to Niger to improve its maternal and child health services. The project targeted more than 260,000 children and 96,000 women and mothers living far from health facilities.

The project partnered directly with UNICEF, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, with the goal of supporting seven districts of the Tahoua region through a series of interventions.

These interventions aimed at improving Tahoua's electricity, health communities, drug and treatment distribution, community engagement and coordination.

The funds are documented as being part of China's larger China South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund (SSCAF) (中国南南合作援助基金) (La cCoopération Sud-Sud de la Chine).
