(GEM) Program, five shallow-lift hand pumps were constructed for the 2,227 inhabitants of the community. In addition to providing greater convenience the hand pumps should also reduce the incidence of water-borne diseases. By 2007, GEM, in partnership with local governments and cooperatives, will construct 800 small infrastructure projects such as footbridges, water systems, solar dryers, boat landings, trading centers, and bridge and road upgrades in conflict-affected areas in Mindanao. GEM is being implemented under the oversight of the Mindanao Economic Development Council (MEDCo). (GEM Program)
