The department will furnish funds of K10 million for 45 villages the money will come in two installments, the development initiatives should be accomplished by March.

A development planner from the LIFT Fund will conduct a four day development training program in which two villagers from 15 villages will attend the programme. They should learn how to start up and see through village development plans.
