📋 Tender Overview
In Mahdia Region Eight 18 persons will soon be employed as Community Enhancement Workers CEWs to improve the aesthetics and infrastructure in the township.Ten persons will be selected from the Campbelltown community while eight will be hired for the Mahdia Town Council. This will complement the existing seven CEWs being managed by the local organs.Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Nigel Dharamlall MP made the commitment during a recent two-day outreach to the region.We recognise that enhancement workers play a significant role in expanding and transforming the infrastructure of our communities and as a government we have promised people jobs and this is one of the many initiatives implemented to fulfill that but it also allows locals to identify areas for enhancement.The minister said the initiative will impact the safety and wellbeing of residents and as such he expects the CEWs to assist in the governments efforts to develop every community.Mayor of Mahdia His Worship David Adams told DPI that the town council once had more than 10 CEWs however a number of persons left the job putting a strain on the remaining workers.We have been trying to have our strength increased to the correct amount and I am happy that he the minister has indicated that we will once again operate at full capacity he said.Some 1.1 billion has been allocated for the CEWs programme to continue the preservation and enhancement of communities countrywide.CEWs fall under the Community Infrastructure Improvement Project CIIP. It creates jobs and boost villages and regional economies along with the tourism sector. CIIP was started in 2014 but was altered in 2015 by the former government to decentralise resources to the Local Democratic Organs LDOs.
