A
number of foreign nations and international organizations have begun to
cooperate economically with Tibet, implementing some international aid programmers.
The UNDP started to provide US$4 million towards the construction of the
Yangbajain geothermal power plant in 1981. In 1989, UNWFP provided financial
aid for comprehensive agricultural development projects geared to drought
resistance and prevention and improving irrigation conditions in the four
counties of the Lhasa River Valley, all of which has already been used.
The UNICEF provided US$3.215 million in aid for 10 projects including health
centers for women and children. In 1995 the UNDP decided to provide US$822,000
in aid to four counties, Nyalam, Tingri, Dingye and Gyirong, in the Qomolangma
Nature Reserve in western Tibet for projects involving agriculture, housing,
school, wind power and household handicraft production. |
