Aïssatou Mbodj indicated that the call for projects launched by the DER/FJ in Kédougou far exceeded the initial expectations planned for an envelope of 200 million francs. The requests expressed reached 320 million francs, she detailed.
”I have committed here to giving (…) the bid of 320 million francs, a first step for the moment in order to rectify an injustice because Kédougou had recorded the smallest investment,” she explained.
The general director also promised to fight against certain anomalies and to strengthen the investment of the Der/Fj in the Kédougou region.
”I am committed to rectifying this anomaly in the Kédougou region because we are part of the dynamic of territorialization in order to put the regions at the same level in terms of equity and social equality,” he said. she pointed out.
She invited local entrepreneurs to revive agricultural and livestock farms and post-harvest mechanization following suggestions that emerged from the regional development committee.
”The advantage with these farms is to have a united and relevant investment where the family could come together with young people and this investment at a safe cost will provide employment,” she recommended. .
