The Grand Savanne water system has over the years been managed by the area farmers and this intervention will lessen the burden and responsibilities of these farmers with improved capacity and greater impact on the farming systems.
The total sum of the contract is approximately EC$500,000.00 and is expected to be completed by September 2024
