Guinea: UN Fund’s $10 million grant to help poor rural families |
|
Conakry, Guniea - A development project in Guinea has received a $10 million grant from the UN International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) as part of efforts to provide poor rural families in the West African nation with better access to schools, healthcare and drinking water.
The initiative, known as the Village Communities Support Project -- Phase II, will also bolster rural producers' access to markets and increase local governments' abilities to allow communities to plan and manage their own services in Guinea, which is classified as a highly vulnerable and indebted country.
