Grant Description
On October 23, 2000, the Chinese Government and the Government of Lebanon signed an agreement in which the Chinese Government committed RMB 5 million ($600,000 USD) in grant funding to Lebanon for the supply of equipment to schools in southern Lebanon.
Specifically, the grant proceeds were to be used to connect schools in the south of Lebanon with the rest of the country's education network via the SchoolNet Lebanon system.
Staff Comments
This project is known as 'School Equipment for Public Schools in the South, 2000' in the Lebanese Council for Development and Reconstruction's (CDR) database. The agreement number is 1056 (see 'CDR Funding - School Equipment for Public Schools in the South, 2000'). This grant commitment came after the end of the Southern Lebanon conflict and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Southern Lebanon in May 2000.The CDR claims that the USD equivalent of this RMB 5 million grant was $785,091 USD, but media sources at the time ('Chinese gift helps students link up.' and 'CHINA-LEBANON SIGN DONATION DEAL.'), as well as AidData's currency deflator, report an approximately $600,000 USD figure.
