Four municipalities of the North and the Far North Regions will benefit.


The beneficiary communities include: the Kamarki in the Wina Mayo Danay Municipality, the Bizili in the Touloum Mayo Kani Municipality, the Kawasaki in the Kousseri Municipality and the Kismantari in the Garoua III Municipality.

Inhabitants of both regions have expressed their gratitude to the Swiss government for the donations that will aid in advancing the standards of the people of the North and Far North Regions.
