Grant Description
On November 29, 2023, the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of the Republic of Sierra Leone signed an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA).
The agreement was signed by Chinese Ambassador Wang Qing and Sierra Leone’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Timothy Musa Kabba.
While the amount of the grant was not disclosed, the agreement reflects a formal financial commitment by the Chinese government to support Sierra Leone’s economic and social development.
The ETCA is positioned as a mechanism to advance the bilateral comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and support President Bio’s development agenda during his second term.
No specific projects have been identified under this agreement at the time of signing, and it is therefore coded as an umbrella ETCA.
Staff Comments
- Although the agreement text does not specify the amount or flow type, the formal use of the ETCA designation and the bilateral, development-focused nature of the agreement warrant coding it as a pipeline commitment with the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) as the funding agency.
- In the absence of explicit loan terms, the flow type is coded as a grant, per TUFF convention.
