Participants also reviewed the project’s main components, which include temporary employment opportunities, land rehabilitation and support for farmers, improvements to community infrastructure and water and sanitation services, support for local producers and food security, as well as assistance for small businesses and educational and community services.
The meeting concluded with a reaffirmation that the project’s success depends on cooperation and shared responsibility between MA’AN Development Center, local councils, and community committees, in order to strengthen community resilience and ensure sustainable development impact.
