Abu Dhabi: The United Arab Emirates has pledged development projects to the tune of $10 million in the Comoros.
The move followed directives from UAE President Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
An Emirates Red Crescent (ERC delegation) arrived in Moroni, the Comoros, to oversee implementation of the projects, which include construction of residential units, as well as other projects covering health, education, water, foodstuff and sheltering sectors.
The development schemes will also include the construction of 40 housing units, building and renovation of five schools, setting up a fully-equipped motherhood and childhood centre and a unit for the treatment of kidney failure, according to WAM.
