On his part, the French ambassador confirmed that this funding is intended to appreciate the rural women\u2019s capabilities; it also seeks to support the food security enhancement project, declaring that around 2500 farmers will benefit from this donation.<\/p>\n
He added that the agriculture sector is one of the most affected sectors by the COVID-19 Pandemic, thus, France decided to be on Mauritania\u2019s side to help alleviate the repercussions of the pandemic on this sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
