The project, which includes the establishment of a sewage treatment plant, was launched with a large workshop held yesterday entitled “Enhancing the capacity of local communities in Eastern Ghouta to confront climate change and water shortage challenges through integrated management of natural resources and immediate adaptation interventions.”
The Minister of Local Administration and Environment, Hussein Makhlouf, stressed that this project is an environmental and development par excellence that serves the economic, social, productive and agricultural process.
