“We have launched food security activities and mainly agricultural recovery where we distribute agricultural inputs consisting of food seeds and market garden seeds with tillage tools. We give them seeds and tillage tools for the revival of agricultural activities because In fact, the big problem that we have diagnosed is food insecurity. These seeds are certified by the appropriate state service. We provide these seeds with food so that those who receive them actually plant them,” explained Dieudonné Wanican Thepolo.
In total, 2,270 households will benefit from this project.
