The commander of the East sector at the UNIFIL, Brigadier General Francisco Dakoba inaugurated last week a vocational training centre for women affiliated to the agricultural cooperative in the village of Taybeh, in cooperation with the union of municipalities of Jabal Amel.  The centre includes a pastry and bakery workshop and was made possible via a donation of USD 25,000 from UNIFIL.  In his opening address, Dakoba noted that this project reflects UNIFIL commitment to improving women’s livelihoods as well as reinforcing their community role, adding that it comes as the culmination of cooperation with the union of municipalities in Jabal Amel.  Other new projects will also be implemented this year including one sewing and embroidery training center to be located in Majdal Selem, a dairy production unit in Hula and a carob press in Kabreekha.
