US $6.47 million for food security

    ABIDJAN

    The African Development Fund (ADF) has agreed to lend Mauritania US $6.47 million for a five-year livestock development and farm management project to ensure food security, the African Development bank reported on Wednesday. The money would support livestock productivity by making grazing areas more fertile, increasing water supply and improving farm infrastructure. The long-term goal is to reduce poverty by increasing farmers’ incomes, the ADF said. The project is slated to start in May.
