MAFSE officers Miguel Balan and William Can conducted the training session.

MAFSE said The DFC is a key partner in the upcoming Climate Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture Project (CRESAP) Project, which will support climate resilient development projects in Belize with the help of the Social Investment Fund (SIF), the World Bank (WB) and other stakeholders.
