On November 23, 2017, took place in the commune of Diongaga, the ceremony of launch of the 1st payments of the PGFS, under the presidency of the Prefect of the circle of Yélimané.

This launch was intended to inform the population and the national, regional and local authorities of the effective start of the activities of the Jigisemejiri Program in all 15 new communes of the MTP, notably the payment of the quarterly cash transfers and the start of the sessions of the measures of accompaniment.

The scaling up of the Social Safety Net Program for poor and vulnerable households across Mali remains the major challenge for greater equity in government action. It is within this framework that the Government of Mali has set up a budget line in the state budget to finance this project, which will be called the “Governmental Social Networks Project”, abbreviated as PGFS. It will be implemented by the Jigisemejiri Social Net Program. The objectives of the PGFS will be aligned with those of the National Program of Social Nets Jigisemejiri.
