General Wolzdegu also visited a town-hall building constructed under the mission’s Quick Impact Projects. He advised the community to make judicious use of the hall for their meetings in search for peace and co-existence.
The aim of the visit was to assess available health and social facilities for the people in the area with the view to identify and address gaps with other stakeholders like UN agencies, funds and programmes.
