LIPW, is an Anambra State COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus, AN-CARES, implemented by Anambra State Community and Social Development Agency, CSDA.
While describing the opportunity as a privilege, Mrs. Nnake, who noted that others are waiting, stressed the need for the programme to succeed as it will assist the state in doing more towards achieving it’s set goals as well as strengthen trust between Anambra State Government and development partners.
