The Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Water Management, represented by Minister Tsvetan Triponovski, formalized a significant partnership with the World Bank. The agreement involves a substantial grant of $2 million, earmarked for critical components of an ongoing infrastructure initiative. This funding is specifically designated to finalize project documentation and provide necessary training for local beneficiaries.
The financial support underpins the comprehensive “Improvement of water management from the Zletovica river basin” initiative. This overarching project is structured across multiple phases, addressing critical areas including flood control (Phase 2) and the potential generation of electrical energy (Phase 3). The Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Water Management will assume the role of the implementing body for this vital undertaking.
This ministry unit serves as the successor entity managing the modernization efforts for agriculture, which were initially financed by the World Bank. The ultimate recipient and beneficiary of the improvements will be the Hydrosystem “Zletovica” – Probištip. This multi-faceted water management project is scheduled for implementation over an eighteen-month period, commencing on July 1st.
The receipt of this grant is crucial, as it provides the necessary resources to transition the planning stages into actionable development. The successful completion of this project is anticipated to significantly enhance regional water security and modernize agricultural practices within the Zletovica basin.
