Our USAID Resilient Governance in Niger project has organized citizen monitoring committees in partner communes to address their priority needs. The rural commune of Kieche struggled with limited classroom space for new students. Thanks to the committee's efforts, 474 more students now have access to education through the construction of 11 additional classrooms. 📽 Watch the video to learn more about how we’re helping local communities create better livelihoods for themselves and the next generation. https://lnkd.in/eAJQGCMU #GlobalDev #Niger #USAID #Education #Kieche #Governance Abdourahamane Laouali Natha Laura Narcisse Amandine Weinrob Sharifa Pastori Rachida zakari issaka

Schools are anchors in their communities, fostering civic engagement and helping to manage conflict. At the United States Institute of Peace and the Alliance for Peacebuilding's #PeaceCon2024, Counterpart will lead a storytelling session on September 12 to explore how schools—particularly school meals programs—can serve as entry points to augment inclusive civic participation, foster social cohesion, and mitigate local grievances. Mehreen Farooq, governance technical expert, will facilitate the session with moderator Theresa Becchi, associate director of Resilient Food Systems. Desire Yameogo, Kathryn Lane, and Casimiro Antonio, chiefs of party of our USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) McGovern-Dole projects in Mauritania, Senegal, and Mozambique, will provide insights from their programs.

Sustainability is key for lasting change. That’s why our USDA McGovern-Dole school feeding project in Mauritania prioritizes the implementation of a sustainability plan, which is developed with local buy in and integrated into programming from the project’s inception. To track progress of the project’s sustainability initiatives, our team recently facilitated a workshop for an array of stakeholders, including the U.S. Ambassador to Mauritania Cynthia Kierscht, Mauritanian government officials, and our local partners. What did the stakeholders recommend?

Civil society organizations in Armenia are as diverse as the populations they aim to support. Yet they all have one thing in common: the need to be financially sustainable. Our USAID Civil Society in Action project brought together an array of stakeholders and project partners, including government officials, think tanks, and local and regional NGOs, to discuss the challenges and opportunities for enhancing financial stability. Participants identified three key recommendations: ➡ Diversification of financial resources for civil society ➡ Revision of the default grant treatment by the State Revenue Committee ➡ Improved mechanisms for establishing civil society-public-private partnerships Read more insights from the Open Space event: https://lnkd.in/dW92PzSW Magda Avetisyan Hasmik Tonapetyan Kourtney Pompi Brianna Radosti Tanya Azuaje #GlobalDev #Armenia #USAID #CivilSociety #ICYMI
