To encourage membership and support, the SDG programme visited almost 200 administrative districts and met with their community leaders, including sub-prefect authority figures, police and security force chiefs, and other thought leaders. A total of 170 community leaders made a commitment to support its implementation.
Project Management
To facilitate the integrated implementation of the project, we created:
- A steering committee
- A 2020 roadmap explaining the implementation of activities
- A multisectoral coordination committee chaired by Madam le Préfet
- A weekly multi-sectoral meeting is held with the technical coordinator and the departmental director of social affairs
Field Monitoring
In order to ensure proper field implementation, visits are organized monthly from health districts to health centers. Departmental directorates to health districts are held quarterly, as they are often located in rural locations. The program is designed to improve the access of indigenous populations to social protection and support the government's platform of ensuring social protection for all citizens, with particular emphasis on the extension of social protection systems in rural districts. The program benefits from funding of one billion CFA francs for two years from the Joint SDG Fund. The recipient agencies of these resources are WFP, UNICEF and WHO.
