NUMBERS of projects that were implemented at Makira province are slowly progressing as construction work on the projects sites continue to take shape.

Last month the Makira Ulawa provincial government (MUPG) officials has visited some of these project sites including the St Ana fishery, water tanks in Aorigi village, cocoa copra storage shed plus other projects and noted that materials is one of the requirements to complete the construction work of these projects.

MUPG confirmed the need of purchasing timber and cement materials for the fishery centre which is facing shortage of materials since May that slow the work on the fishery centre.

However Makira provincial government said it urges contractors and the communities of St. Ana to work together and committed on agreements as the budgets have already been spent but the construction on the project is increasingly delayed.

It says according to Aorigi village water tank project, it is pleased to see the project is completed.

“In Hagaruhi and Parego villages agreements have been signed with the communities and constructors to provide timber for the construction of the copra and cocoa storage shed, other villages like Ra’a, Tetere, Marunga, Anuta and Waikaha projects are going well in those areas”.

Meanwhile MUPG is planning to conduct a survey to identify the communities, education and health facilities that are in need of infrastructure improvement.

The province have decided to have RWSS officers lead a team from education, works, health promotion and RWSS to visit all wards and the conduct the survey.
