The team also took the opportunity to do site visits to farms, fisheries centres, copra sheds and see other economic activities that are taking place in the rural areas.
Members of the team also used the opportunity to get a variety of information related to the immediate needs that rural dwellers might have to be active players in contributing to the economy.
The committee also calls on all who are eligible for the stimulus package to make use of the opportunity and to make sure that the intended outcome is reached.
