Mékrou Project, national studies ready on development priorities

    The first draft of the national studies in Benin, Burkina and Niger on the identification of development priorities in the Mekrou Basin have been submitted to the Project Manager. These drafts were forwarded to the Project Management team as well as to the international consultant recruited by GWPO to make a coherence in the national studies. The international consultant is to ensure the national consultants’ work comply with the Terms of Reference and create a coherence between the three studies.

     

    In Benin, the scientific technical committee met on 15 April with the participation of the project officer, GWP WA chair to amend the study and make recommendations for its improvement. The Mekrou PO complained about the fact that the network of national and regional experts set up to amend studies is not operational. This network could have a say in the harmonisation a table of content for the country level studies to facilitate synthesis and coordination. But he sent many messages to activate the network in vain.

    The contract with the regional consultant to make a regional synthesis of the national development priorities of Mekrou basin is also signed.

    A mission will visit Niamey from 8 to 12 May 2016 to follow up on the implementation of recommendations made by the auditors and assist CWP Niger in financial reporting issues.
