Members of the Steering Committee of the Project ‘Reduction of chronic malnutrition of children and capacity building of state actors and civil society for better resilience in the face of insecurity’, supported by the NGO HOPE’ 87, met on Thursday, May 2, 2024 in Orodara, to take stock of the state of implementation of the activities of the said Project.
The meeting was chaired by the Secretary General of the Kénédougou province, Bassanma Ko, representing the High Commissioner.
The Steering Committee was required to take stock of the state of implementation of the activities of this project in the two beneficiary municipalities, namely Kangala and Koloko.
According to the Project Manager, Apollinaire Sanou, the results are satisfactory.
‘Of 95% of the planned activities, these were all carried out. We are beyond the expected results,’ he suggested.
According to Mr. Sanou, for the moment, there are only two points left to perfect for implementation.
‘This is a budgetary advocacy plan for nutrition and
a capitalization workshop to see what could be added as added value in the fight against malnutrition,’ indicated the Project Manager.
Bassanma Ko, expressed his gratitude and recognition to the first leaders of HOPE’87, for the work they do on a daily basis in the field through achievements for the happiness of the populations of the communes of Kangala and Koloko and hence those from all over Kénédougou.
