This initial funding approval occurred during a meeting on June 26th, marking the first year of the program’s implementation. The investments are expected to focus on various sectors to boost development in the four provinces. Details regarding specific projects and allocations were not immediately available. This initiative signals a strong governmental commitment to regional economic diversification and improvement.
