The project title is Agricultural Products Processing Center Construction Project. The Portuguese project title is Centro de Pós-Colheita no Poilão or Centro de pós colheita de Órgãos or Centro de Processamento dos Produtos Agrícolas nas imediações da Barragem de Poilão, na ilha de Santiago or Centro de pós-colheita do Serrado. The Chinese project title is 中国援佛农产品加工中心 or 援佛得角农产品加工中心项目 or 佛得角农产品加工中心项目. AidData could not identify any evidence from the Chinese Government or the Government of Cape Verde that this project was supported by a loan. Therefore, it is coded as a grant-financed project for the time being. However, MOFCOM refers to the project as being supported by ‘aid’, which in principle could be a grant or interest-free loan. This issue merits further investigation.
