A total of nine municipalities of the western Cuban province of Pinar del Rio will benefit from the assistance of the United Nations as 120 UN-sponsored development projects are being carried out in the region, the Latin American News Agency reported Wednesday.
The projects include housing construction and water and electricity supply to communities, which are the priorities of the UN's Program for Local Human Development in the Latin American country, said Leonel Salgado, provincial coordinator of the projects.
The UN will spend 2 million U.S. dollars in its collaboration with Cuban authorities in building the projects, Salgado said.
