This donation, with an estimated value of 35 million FCFA, is the result of the contribution of CIDEF members to the State’s effort resolutely committed to the well-being of the populations.

Mr. Diawara, speaking on behalf of the CIDEF delegation, welcomed the actions of the Ministry of Solidarity, Humanitarian Action, National Reconciliation, Gender and Family and very positively appreciated the momentum of solidarity generated by the transitional government. The president of CIDEF indicated that through this gesture, their members wanted to express their solidarity with internally displaced people and vulnerable populations in general.

Minister Nandy Somé thanked the CIDEF delegation and all of its members for this gesture which takes place in the month of November, dedicated month of solidarity. This donation, she said, will strengthen the capacities of her ministry, in particular, and those of the government in general. She expressed the hope that this chain of solidarity would have favorable repercussions in other environments.o
