Our program invests in and delivers projects including feeder roads, water transport, water catchments and tanks, sewerage treatment, electricity and telecommunications as well as social and economic infrastructure projects such as roads, jetties, bridges, community health centres, health outposts, classrooms, libraries, teachers, doctors and nurses’ houses.
