Japan backs water supply project in Moroccan region

The Japanese government gave Monday the rural commune of Sekoura (Ouarzazate region) an assortment of furniture worth some US$3.3 million, to back a water supply project.

The donation, which is part of the Japanese government's (non-paid back) cooperation, will contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of some 57,00 inhabitants in 137 villages in the regions of Tiznit, Taza and Ouarzazate.

Japan contributed US$16.2 million to Morocco's PAGER water supply project between 1995 and 1999.
