The Taraba State Community and Social Development Agency (CSDA) has executed 318 micro projects in 159 communities across Taraba State.
The public relations officer of the Agency Mrs Freda Allen who disclosed this to journalists while on a tour of the projects said that the projects are at 90% completion and will be handed over to the respective communities by December.
He said that the agency was able to carryout such massive projects due to the enabling environment and funding provided by the state government under Governor Agbu Kefas.
“The Taraba State Community and Social Development Agency(CSDA) is setting the pace under the Community Action For Resilience and Economic Stimulus (TR-CARES), in infrastructural interventions across rural communities in the six (16) Local Government Areas of the State.
“The CSDA launched yet another phase of micro projects intervention in the State in July 2024, with sectors of intervention which include water, health, education, erosion and flood control. This phase of intervention under the NG-CARES programme comprises the drilling and installation of hand pump boreholes, drilling/rehabilitation of solar powered boreholes, perimeter fencing of public primary and secondary schools, construction and equipping of health posts with one time supply of drugs, as well as construction of drainages and various sizes of box culverts to control erosion and flood.”
