An amount of 100 million US dollars has been approved and sanctioned by the ADB, while the State Government will fund 25 million US dollars of the total project cost.
In addition to that two million US dollars will be given by Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction for capacity building of civil society organisations and government departments and agencies in the State.
