Along the same line, a tripartite Funding and Implementation Agreement was signed among AFDB, Government of Mauritius and the UNDP for Humanitarian Emergency Assistance program.

The main localities concerned were; Quatre Soeurs, Grand River South East, Grand Sable, Mahebourg and Vieux Grand Port. 125 starter kits of garden tools were donated for organic cropping and concerning egg production, 100 battery cages together with 500 poultry layers and 5 tons of feed for egg production were distributed to the beneficiaries. Along the same line, two booklets on household farming and compost making were published for the training purposes.<\/p><p>The handing over ceremony of starter kits and certificates was organised by the Ministry of Agro Industry in collaboration with FAREI on the 26th of February 2022 at the \u201cMaison des Pecheurs\u201d, Mahebourg.<\/p><p>The Hon Maneesh Gobin, Minister of Agro Industry and Food Security marked the function.
