Jiangxi CCPIT contributes to donation of 20,000 masks to Ecuador in March 2020 (Linked to Record ID#94930)

📋 Staff Comments

1. It is assumed that, given the reporting that the donation was sent, the materials reached Ecuador and this project can therefore be considered completed.
2. To determine the masks donated by each CCPIT branch, AidData has implemented the equal contribution assumption and divides the estimated value of 20,000 total masks in March 2020 ($14,000.00) by three, for $4,666.67 each. AidData has estimated the value of the total donation based on price catalogues from the World Health Organization (WHO). Please see the TUFF Methodology for additional details.
3. Each agency is assumed to have contributed, given the phrasing that the CCPIT branches provided 'support' to the donation coordinated by CCECH, and photos of the boxes of materials have both the CCPIT logos and the logo of the CCECH.
4. A project has not been created for CCECH's contribution, insofar as the chamber is comprised of both Chinese and Ecuadorian businesses, and the percentages of state ownership of the Chinese businesses involved is unknown.
