NGOs representing communities in and near Bartica and Lusignan on Friday inked separate agreements with the UNDP to implement various projects to support families affected by the murder of 23 persons in their areas.
The initiative was put in place after calls from various stakeholders for a rapid response to support the victims and members of the affected communities at Lusignan and including Buxton, Annandale and other depressed areas and Bartica. The $48M initiative is intended to help rebuild the lives and livelihoods of residents and “strengthen local resi-lience, bridge the entrepreneurial skills gap and provide resources,” a press release from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) said.
