This preliminary workshop to identify the problems encountered by development NGOs and their partners in the field has two objectives:

  • Identifying ways for field actors to provide temporary assistance to internally-displaced persons and help them to settle in rural communities in the Sahel.
  • Identifying ways to reinforce the capacity of organisations in the field and in Luxembourg.
