From 02 to 03 November 2017, was held in the conference room of the Hotel Cinquantenaire in Sikasso, the annual workshop of capitalsation and programming activities of 2018 of the program of social safety nets “Jigisemejiri” under the presidency of Mr. Abdoulaye DIABATE Technical Advisor of the MSAH.

The Jigisemejiri Social Nets program has started since the last quarter of 2013 through outreach, targeting and registration of program beneficiaries. In 2014, the first cash transfers started with the pilot communes of Bamako and Sikasso, and the program gradually spread to other regions. In 2017, the program is expected to complete TM payments in several of the intervention areas.

As part of the accompanying measures, activities started globally in 2015 for the regions of Sikasso, Koulikoro, Kayes and the District of Bamako. On the other hand for the regions of Ségou and Mopti the operations began rather in 2016.

On the basis of thematic planning, the NGOs conducted the communication activities. The themes of this period concern the Infant and Young Child Feeding Strategy, the promotion of early childhood, the development of IGAs ….

In September 2017 the program covered 110 beneficiary communes throughout the national territory, particularly in the regions of Koulikoro, Kayes, Sikasso, Segou, Mopti, Gao and Timbuktu as well as the District of Bamako. The new zones concern the Circles of Gao and Niafunké.

In 2017, the activities of the new funding (FA DFID and the Government) made it possible to undertake the components of the program from 03 to 05 and to extend the intervention zones to Yanfolila, Yelimane, Koulikoro and Banamba Circles. .

To measure the progress made, capitalize on the experiences acquired and plan the activities to be implemented in 2018.
