District Town Improvement Program

Acting secretary of the Department of Provincial and Local-level Government Affairs, Joe Warus, said in collaboration with the Department of National Planning, they have allocated K1.5 million to fund those projects, which will include three staff houses as well.

“This came under our ‘District Town Improvement Program’. This money helps districts and towns. One of those we can see now is the building and power line that we brought in.

He said the DTIP will ensure each major town in a district will receive necessary funding support to have all services as major urban areas.

Minister Maru said under the DTIP, district towns will have all core services available.

The Minster said the Planning and Monitoring Department will be travelling to the district to do a stock take of all major towns.
