"At a time when needs continue to increase, this massive support from IsDB will make it possible to improve the access of citizens in these regions to basic social services, promote the empowerment of vulnerable populations through income generating activities and fostering collaboration and living together,"

explained the PM, who equally thanked the financial partner for contributing hugely for the return of peace and tranquility in the restive regions.


Dion Ngute also empathized on what he says is the reality of the PPRD.

"Amongst the most notable achievements are reconstruction of dozen of schools, health centers, and community centers. The supply of equipments and material to thousands of farmers, breeders and fishermen. The establishment of hundreds of official documents as well as the organization of social cultural activities."

He saluted the effort of the implementing partner of the PPRD, the United Nations Development Program UNDP.

Also present at the launch was the Minister of Economy, Planning and Regional Development, Alamine Ousmane Mey who said among others that financial support from IsDB will help in the growth of the restive regions.

Since April 2021, the PPRD has been active in the crisis affected regions thereby indicating that development can still go on in times of crisis.

However, there are those who still believe that for the PPRD to attain it's much needed result, efforts must be redoubled for the seven-year old armed conflict to be laid to it's final resting place with the military option off the table.
