THE International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has released US$25 000 for the completion of Ngwana clinic to fulfil the pledge it made four months ago at the ground-breaking ceremony of the clinic in Bulilima district.<\/p>\n
Initially, the organisation had pledged US$30 000, but the sum has since been revised downwards to US$25 000 due to other factors, reportedly beyond IOM\u2019s control.<\/p>\n
The clinic, which is situated in Bulilima East constituency represented by Industry minister, Mangaliso Ndlovu, is expected to serve over 1 000 households in four wards.<\/p>\n
It is being constructed in partnership with Bulilima Rural District Council (BRDC), with the Zimbabwe National Army providing builders, the community and Ngwana village diasporans under the banner Banha BeNgwana Development Trust.<\/p>\n
The building is at roofing level and the IOM funding has reportedly come at the right time, since the structure is expected to be complete by next month.<\/p>\n
The project was started in 2013 under the country\u2019s rural district council\u2019s sustainable development goals initiatives.<\/p>\n
BRDC chief executive John Brown Ncube yesterday confirmed the release of the money by IOM, adding that it would help speed-up completion of the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s true that the donor, IOM, started activities on the project on July 1. I signed an award of US$25 000 last week in Harare. The construction of the clinic is quite impressive.
\nThe builders are now doing the beam-ring in anticipation of the last stage before we do the roofing of the whole structure,\u201d Ncube said.<\/p>\n
The RDC was one of the 62 RDCs countrywide who submitted applications and had their project proposals approved by IOM and were promised US$30 000 seed money, which has since been revised to US$25 000. In 2017, IOM partnered Beitbridge Rural District Council to construct a clinic in the Chabili, with the assistance of the army.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
