📋 Staff Comments

1. It is possible that the August 17 distribution was not part of this project because it took place after all Chinese aid arrived in Afghanistan. An October 5 donation from China to the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (see project ID#100441 and 100442) and an October 10 donation (see project ID#100443) may also be part of this project. As those donations took place two months after the Chinese implementation of this project completed they are considered to be separate projects.
