The activity identification is a decision that the community has unanimously reached together with the district and regional Authority, as this contributes to both social integrations, enhance security and government presence in hard-to-reach locations. The community committees attended the participatory planning process and local fundraising training to empower and transfer skills to the selected Community Project Implementation Unit (CPIU). The rehabilitation and upgrading of the Administration Block will enhance the service delivery to the community and also boost the social cohesion between the communities and the local administration.
