Haiti - Economy : Launch of an ambitious program to create jobs - 54,800 jobs 30/08/2014 09:08:36
With this program, the Government intends to increase the purchasing power of households for the next school year, it also aimed through mitigation works to protect people during the hurricane season. Of rehabilitation works of farm tracks will allow producers to get their crops to the consumption centers (markets). Interventions in watersheds are part of the logic of the struggle against soil erosion, protection of downstream communities. During the period, the MARNDR, also intends working on irrigation channels in order to optimize the irrigable land. Special attention will be given to salt marshes located in the town of Anse-Rouge. Through this program the Government once again demonstrates its permanent concern to support the most vulnerable families whether in urban or rural areas. Compared to the mission of MARNDR, as part of the implementation of the program, the focus will be on rural populations. In an interval of one month, the program will create about 54,800 jobs across the country, especially in rural communities where the situation is more difficult. In order to ensure consistency with the Triennial Agricultural Recovery Programme (PTRA 2013/16), program activities revolve around the axis of rehabilitation of rural infrastructure and watershed management. This axis consists of five areas: irrigation, the development of rivers, the watershed development, rehabilitation of rural roads and restoration of salt marshes. With respect to irrigation, 50 irrigation systems will be rehabilitated to irrigate at least 20,000 ha of land in the Artibonite Valley, the North, the Central Plateau. More than 14,000 families will be hired as part of this work. More than 12,000 families will be recruited for the diking and bank stabilization that will protect farmland, villages and cities. Remediation activities of gullies on 1,000 kms will create 18,000 jobs during the month of September. In addition, the rehabilitation of farm roads will help create more than 6,400 jobs for the new school year. It will be the same for the work on salt marshes, where 1,040 jobs will be created during the month of September in the town of Anse-Rouge. The team to the directorate of the Ministry of Agriculture for more than two years tirelessly prioritizes the participation of local governments, farmers' organizations and community organizations in all its activities. Thus, this new program of job creation will follow the same logic. This investment, for the Ministry of Agriculture, constitutes among other things, a first step toward the preparation of the winter season that will begin in the month of October. The SMCRS will create 20 to 25,000 jobs, 100M Gdes disbursed https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11938-haiti-social-the-smcrs-will-create-20-to-25-000-jobs-100m-gdes-disbursed.html HL/ HaitiLibre
