Significant funding of $900,000 has been designated for clean and safe drinking water projects in the villages of Niurua and Naqumu in Macuata. This announcement was made by Macuata provincial administrator Revoni Rakasa during a presentation at the Macuata Provincial Council meeting held in Sasa Village.
Highlighting the government’s commitment to enhancing infrastructure and services in the northern region, Rakasa noted that a total of $637 million has been allocated for various improvements. “The Government is focused on ensuring that the people in the Northern Division, including Macuata, have access to essential services,” he emphasized.
The funds are earmarked for vital projects that encompass road maintenance, water supply, communication services, and improving market access. Rakasa mentioned that potential projects have already been identified, with funds allocated accordingly. He acknowledged that while the government is dedicated to addressing the needs of the community, some solutions may take time to implement.
Furthermore, he pointed out the government’s past efforts in disaster relief, underscoring that over $655 million was spent in recovery operations following natural disasters last year. This commitment illustrates a proactive stance in helping communities rebuild and recover.
In summary, the allocation of funds toward water projects in the Macuata region reflects a positive governmental effort to improve essential services and infrastructure for local communities.
