Work on the Torgome Irrigation Project, just North of the Kpong Dam site, has been advancing well, however the recent rains will surely add to the challenges of 'mud management'! The progress on the work is impressive, and it will be a great boon to the local economy, if all goes according to plan. It is good to see several agricultural projects already bedding in around the site. Let us hope that it is a sustainable project, and that a suitable educative/preventive approach to Schistosomiasis, and associated challenges associated with such projects, is put in place to protect folks who may be at risk, depending upon their activities.
