Nasser Al Kaabi, member of the Board of Directors of the Qatari foundation, said the project aims to develop rural areas in Darfur and to decrease the level of poverty, according to Gulf news sources. Throughout 18 months a team of 20 professionals will focus on income-generating projects in South and West Darfur, including training farmers in agricultural techniques and rehabilitation of land.
