Sana'a - Saba:
Rajih Al-Hanmi, the director of Bani Hashish District in Sana'a province, inspected on Sunday a number of developmental projects being implemented through community initiatives.
Al-Hanmi, accompanied by the official in charge of initiatives in the district, Saif Al-Saqqa, reviewed the progress of the "State Property Road" project in the Ratkh area of Ayal Malik sub-district. The project involves widening the road from 3 to 5 meters, conducting surveying work along 1,500 meters, and stone paving for 300 meters of the road.
The project, with a total cost of 20 million Yemeni riyals, is being implemented with support from the Emergency Development Interventions Unit, which contributes quantities of diesel and cement, while the local authority provides excavation and surveying equipment. The community contributes by supplying stones and manual labor.
They also inspected the progress of the project to complete floodwater diversion channels (Gabion walls) in the Shariya area of Ghuthran sub-district. The project includes installing 272 meters of gabions to channel floodwaters into vast agricultural lands.
This project, costing 30 million riyals, is supported by the Agricultural Projects and Initiatives Financing Unit in the governorate, with contributions from the local community and the district's local authority.
Additionally, Al-Hanmi and Al-Saqqa reviewed ongoing work on the "Tinah Gabions" project in Beit Al-Sarji village in the Ayal Al-Abna sub-district. The project involves constructing gabion walls to protect farmland and utilize floodwaters for irrigation, benefiting over 2,000 grapevines and other crops. They also inspected the project to reinforce the "Al-Hamam Gabions" to prevent collapse and protect farmland in the villages of Al-Safa and Al-Hanaka in the Ayal Al-Abna sub-district, as well as the project to safeguard agricultural lands in Bir Yahya from floods in the Beit Jarallah area.
Furthermore, they examined the progress of the project to protect agricultural lands in "Ghoul Al-Adl Gabions" from floods in Beit Raziq in the Al-Sharafah sub-district, and the "Al-Sidar Gabions" project in Hadran Al-Sharafah to maximize floodwater harvesting.
The district director commended the local authority's efforts in supporting community initiatives, particularly in the agricultural sector, and praised the role of the Agricultural and Fisheries Projects and Initiatives Financing Unit in the governorate for backing developmental projects in the district.
Meanwhile, the official in charge of initiatives in the district explained that the projects, implemented with support from the Agricultural Projects and Initiatives Financing Unit and the local authority—along with community contributions—have a total cost of 41.6 million riyals and benefit farmers in several villages near valleys.
