A grant agreement signing between the Japan International Cooperation System and the Fijian government has enabled the government of Japan to extend their assistance in rehabilitation for Tropical Cyclone Winston to another $1.8 million.
Permanent Secretary for the Office of the Prime Minister Yogesh Karan says this will help assist areas that were devastated by Tropical Cyclone Winston.
Karan says the assistance involves the supply of an excavator, tractors and chainsaws that will be a timely boost to enhance Fiji’s ongoing rehabilitation programs in the agriculture sector including the sugar industry revival efforts.
Karan says the government of Japan has already donated $5.8 million.
