THE REVIEW OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE YEAR 2025 DRAWN UP BY THE FIE AND THE EFL
The results of the first quarter of 2025 on the fiduciary implementation of PDIC/REDD+ are known. Indeed, the Environmental Intervention Fund (FIE) organized, from April 16 to 18, 2025 in Ouagadougou, the first quarterly meeting of 2025 with Local Financial Experts (EFL) as part of the implementation of Integrated Municipal Development Projects for REDD+ (PDIC/REDD+).
The participants in the meeting are the EFL (financial controllers) in charge of the thirty (30) municipalities of the first wave and those of the second wave. Indeed, twelve (12) EFL were mobilized in 2023 for the municipalities of the first wave and eight (8) others in March 2025 for the municipalities of the second wave.
The FIE and the EFL (financial controllers) spent 72 hours reviewing activities, noting what worked well and what did not, identifying difficulties and taking measures to rectify the situation where necessary.
Thus, at the close of the meeting, on April 18, 2025, the participants reached the following results: the technical and financial reports of the activities of the first quarter and the year 2025 were validated; the difficulties encountered were examined and avenues for solutions identified; an action plan (roadmap) for the year 2025, in 19 points, was drawn up, followed by proposals and recommendations for improving the financial implementation of PDIC/REDD+.
Before the closing ceremony, Friday, April 18, 2025, provided an opportunity to inform participants how to calculate the PDIC/REDD+ progress index. According to the speaker, PDIC/REDD+ focal point at the FIE, Abel Rodrigue ZONGO, the progress index of an activity is the product of its physical execution rate with its theoretical weight. This is the theoretical weight of an activity on the overall weight of the PDIC/REDD+. He specified that the disbursement of the different tranches is based on the progress index of the activities.
As advice, the communicator invited the municipalities to take into account the budgetary weight of the activities in the planning and programming of activities to better succeed in the implementation of their PDIC/REDD+.
The closing ceremony was chaired by the Director General of the FIE, Delwendé Davy NANEMA. He thanked the EFLs for their diligent participation in the proceedings. He urged them to act as advisors to the municipalities for the success of PDIC/REDD+, as this is a project that is close to the heart of the Ministry of the Environment, Water and Sanitation. Mr. NANEMA invited the EFLs not to hesitate to make proposals for better implementation of PDIC/REDD+.
