An initiative of ZONAL

Overview of the project

The project (PROCAD) is part of the mobilisation of human resources and the promotion of sustainable development actors with regard to the “2030 Goal”. It aims to integrate the strategic axes defined in the high-level summits at local level. Thus, the project is in line with the following four strategic objectives of the National Development Plan (NDP 2017-2021):

  1. Promote sustainable inclusive growth with a focus on eradicating extreme poverty
  2. Reduce income and spatial disparities within and between regions, and reduce unemployment and gender inequalities
  3. Ensure the environmental sustainability of development strategies.
  4. Promote good governance and security (especially through transparency, effective institutions, rule of law and participation).

The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of local actors, especially women and youth, to improve their participation in local governance.

Objective

To train and support grassroots communities in local governance strategies.

Quantitative results

The recipients are made up of 30 CBOs (Community-based organisations), 18 women’s CBOs and 12 mixed CBOs. Sixteen (16) CBOs benefited from grants and technical support. Each grassroots organisation has an average of 20 members, and the number of direct beneficiaries of the project is 600.
According to the reports of the implementing CBOs, more than 1,023,083 people are reached by the project across the 9 districts.

Qualitative results

CSOs (Civil Society Organisations) and CBOs (Community-based organisations) trained and supported in 6 priority areas of governance:

  • Reduction of extreme poverty
  •  Environmental governance
  • Local governance
  • Sustainable peace and peaceful cohabitation
  • Empowerment of women and the fight against GBV (Gender-Based Violences)
  • Protection of children’s rights.

Individual and collective awareness has been developed and grassroots organisations are more involved in local decision-making and monitoring bodies. There is a strong commitment from women and their involvement in each of the six areas of intervention.
