Held on October 6, 2026, the session discussed project initiatives, activities, and implementation strategies. The committees aim to produce local work plans that will form the basis of the 2027 project implementation plan.
The project, valued at 44.21 billion CFA francs, targets 18 communes in the Bougouni and Koulikoro regions. It focuses on three communes in Kangaba Circle: Karan, Kaniogo, and Maramandougou. The project plans to implement 15 sub-projects, including a watering hole, market gardens, lowland development, and rural roads. These initiatives aim to improve the living conditions of local communities.
The session brought together members of Local Consultation Committees from Kangaba and Siby to discuss project components, expected outcomes, and challenges. The project's coordinator, Alou Barry, and his team presented an overview of the project, its intervention areas, and implementation strategies. The committees also examined environmental and social measures, as well as gender and VBG considerations.
The project's primary objective is to enhance community resilience and improve living conditions. With a duration of five years, two years have already passed, and the project must accelerate its activities to meet the expectations of beneficiary populations by its closure date, December 31, 2027. The prefect urged local populations and collectivities to collaborate with the project team to ensure successful implementation.

The committees' input will ensure that the project is tailored to the specific needs of each community. The project's success will depend on the active participation of local stakeholders.
