The scheme that form part of the second phase of a Community-Based Nutrition Programme, is one of the three components of the Community-Based Poverty Reduction Project and is being financed under the World Bank's 'Learning and Innovation Loan Facility'.
Nana Ato Arthur, the District Chief Executive, announced these at the first ordinary meeting of the second session of the assembly at Elmina on Wednesday.
