The Japanese “Non-refundable Financial Assistance Project for Community Initiatives favoring Human Security is flexible. In this case it focuses on the provision of equipment required for food processing and also in provision of diverse needs for the electrical sector in Los Palacios, municipality of Pinar del Rio.
The ambassador of Japan in Cuba, Nakamura Kazuhito, and the ONG OIKOS Cooperation and Development representative, Tiziana Rossetti, participated in the ceremony of the signing of this project that took place at the embassy of Japan in Havana, located at the Centre of Business of Miramar.
The value of the project in this case is more than 49 thousand euros; it will play an essential role in increasing productivity and ensuring stable access; it will also improve the quality of life of people living in Los Palacios.
The Japanese ambassador expressed his wish that this project will contribute to improve the use of agricultural products and food processing with a goal of increasing food security in the specific municipality. During these energy challenging times in Cuba, this project’s focus, on improving food habits and nutrition in the population through increased access to healthy food, is very valuable.
The provision of non-refundable funds for community projects like this is a modality of support that Japan offers and favors as an efficient and rapid response to a variety of community needs. It includes areas such as health, agriculture, education and also the environment.
