Funding agreements signed for Bouéni

On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, the City of Bouéni and the Department-Region of Mayotte signed three agreements totaling 5.39 million euros. The mayor of Bouéni, Ousseni Mirhane, emphasized the need to transform this financial commitment into concrete achievements for the residents.

Funds allocated for communal projects

The funding agreement was formally established following the allocation of departmental aid, which was approved on September 25. The funds will be used for communal infrastructure, including road renovation, sports facilities, and cemetery development.

Roads to receive largest share

Road infrastructure will receive the largest share of the funds, with 3.5 million euros allocated for the renovation of all communal roads, though the total cost of these works is estimated at more than 7 million euros. Sports facilities will benefit from 1.5 million euros for the renovation of football fields and other sports facilities, with the program evaluated at 2.8 million euros.

Cemetery development included

An additional 395,141.70 euros are planned for the completion of the development of the communal cemetery. The mayor of Bouéni, Ousseni Mirhane, noted that the funding from the Department-Region complements the reconstruction funds of Mayotte.

Festive signing ceremony

The signing ceremony took place in a festive atmosphere, with local traditions such as Maoulida chengué songs performed. Discussions focused on the challenges of implementing the agreements and the development prospects of Bouéni.

Bouéni's unique identity highlighted

The mayor emphasized the unique identity of Bouéni, describing it as "the window to the ocean," highlighting the importance of the lagoon in the commune's identity. The communal cemetery, located near the water, is part of this landscape and will be developed with the allocated funds.

Collaboration needed for projects

The president of the Assembly of Mayotte, Ben Issa Ousseni, emphasized the need to work collectively to advance the projects in service of the population. Now, with the agreements formalizing the financial support of the Department-Region, the next challenge is to determine when the works can begin.

Implementation challenges ahead

The preparation of the sites and the necessary procedures must precede their realization. For the residents, the challenge will be to observe these commitments being realized in their commune, with the renovation of roads, sports facilities, and cemetery development needing to be translated into on-the-ground actions.

Measuring the impact

The schedule of operations and their progress will allow the impact of this funding to be measured on the daily lives of the residents.
