THE GOVERNMENT OF COTE D’IVOIRE STRENGTHENS THE CAPACITIES OF 33 YOUTH LEADERS

THE GOVERNMENT OF COTE D’IVOIRE STRENGTHENS THE CAPACITIES OF 33 YOUTH LEADERS

The Ministry of Youth, aware of the importance of the contribution of young people to the national development effort, of the role of civil society and non-governmental organizations, organized a training session on June 30 and July 01, 2020 at the Department of Community Life and Capacity Building for Young People located in Abidjan-Plateau (Sobroko).
Thirty-three young people were benefited from the training which focused on Monitoring, Evaluation and Results-oriented Reporting. However, taking into account the global health crisis and for reasons of convenience, the participants were divided into two groups of sixteen (16) and seventeen (17) participants.
On Wednesday 01 July 2020, seventeen youth leaders, namely, the international organization PLANETE PAIX, represented by the Secretary of PLANETE PAIX for communication, Miss Annick Mireille IBO, JFA, MUDAV, GIEPHCI, AIESEC , ACCEPCI, ASMCI (a deaf man and his interpreter), Youth Peace and Security Network (UNDESA), ESD Center, ROJALNU, UNAFEHCI, RIJLI, AJED, AEEMCI, RNJ, and JEC have been equipped in Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Results-oriented reporting and have acquired skills and competences for the conduct of their programs and / or projects.
Indeed, this training falls within the framework of the National Youth Policy (PNJ) 2016-2020 with a view to accelerating the empowerment of young people who account for more than seventy-seven percent (77%) of the Ivorian population.
To this end, the training was structured around three modules, namely:
• From Strategic Planning to Operational Planning;
• Results-based Project Monitoring and Evaluation Methodology;
• Template for presentation of activity reports, monitoring and evaluation.
The trainer reminded participants that a project is a set of activities with a start and an end. As such, it is therefore important to subdivide the project into activities, and activities into tasks in order to carry out monitoring and evaluation. Operational planning gives us the means to better organize the activities to achieve structural planning, which is the division of the project into a sub-project or a component. A strategic or situational diagnosis makes it possible to identify the needs of the organization or association in order to provide solutions. A strategic plan allows the organization to plan for the future. It is therefore a management, anticipation, coordination and resource mobilization tool. As the strategic planning of the project is effective, the organization monitors and evaluates the project.

Monitoring is a system for collecting information to be processed and disseminated for the smooth running of the project. Information processing concerns the relationship between planned activity, activity carried out and activity not carried out. Dissemination consists of making a follow-up report. In fact, activity monitoring is done using a monitoring field that allows the cost of expenses to be assessed, the time taken to carry out the activity and the quality of the activity, which reveals whether the notebook of loads and performance has been respected. Therefore, a result chain is to be observed, that is to say project / program management. This management takes into account the monitoring of inputs, activities, outputs, effects and impacts, while taking into account the risks of the project. A specific, measurable, achievable, Reachable, temporal indicator (SMART) is essential for good monitoring of the project.
Evaluation is an appreciation, a value judgment that obeys criteria. In other words, the relevance of the project, has the objective been achieved? The effect of the project on the target, the impact of the project which is measured over 5 to 10 years, the viability or sustainability of the project to name a few. This whole process is verified in a framework which consists of making a summary of the report.
The training was enriching through the involvement of the participants. The discussions showed the interest that the participants had in the subject of this training. It lasted 5 hours and was sanctioned by a certificate of participation issued by Mr. Koffi, Director of Associative Life. The 33 youth leaders said they were well equipped to perpetuate this initiative of the Ivorian government and pledged to build the capacities of their members and those of Ivorian youth.

GLOBAL AFRICA DAY: CIVIL SOCIETY PERSONALITIES INDICATE THE WAY FORWARD

GLOBAL AFRICA DAY: CIVIL SOCIETY PERSONALITIES INDICATE THE WAY FORWARD

During the commemoration of the anniversary of the Organization of African Unity (May 25, 1963) on May 25, 2020, H. Em. Achille COMOE and M. Victor Naclan Touré respectively Central President of PLANETE PAIX and General Coordinator of COSOPCI were the guests of Radio de la Paix. The two civil society figures took the opportunity to take stock of the Continental Organization’s mid-term. The challenges to be met by the said organization, the question of irregular immigration, of coronavirus disease, the subjects related to the strengthening of the integration of peoples on the continent, the problem of education, human rights and unemployment were discussed. Our two guests stressed that if things have been done, much remains to be done. They therefore invited african governments to involve young people, african researchers, to work to create a favorable living environment for their populations in order to avoid irregular emigration and unwanted loss of life. They also indicated that coronavirus disease is a situation that should necessarily excite African leaders who must pull themselves together by building adequate and adapted health infrastructure. The African authorities were finally challenged on the respect of their international commitments, on the question of school and university infrastructures and on the funding of research.
“Shutting down arms: creating conditions conducive to the development of Africa” ​​was the theme of the year 2020.

WITHDRAWAL OF COTE D’IVOIRE FROM THE ACHPR: PLANETE PAIX DENOUNCES A VIOLATION OF THE PROTECTED RIGHTS  BY THE IVORIAN AUTHORITIES

WITHDRAWAL OF COTE D’IVOIRE FROM THE ACHPR: PLANETE PAIX DENOUNCES A VIOLATION OF THE PROTECTED RIGHTS BY THE IVORIAN AUTHORITIES

It is with mortification in the soul and with dismay that the members of Planète Paix, received on April 29, 2020 the decision of the authorities to withdraw the declaration of competence of the State of Côte d’Ivoire provided for in the protocol relating to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights issued on June 19, 2013.
Was there a survey of real Ivorian public opinion ? Or have we consulted the Ivorian people ?
Without these paths, the decision that is made is arbitrary and despotic.
Planète Paix rises in consequence, against such an attacking decision against democracy which does not honor the Cote d’Ivoire and its people who nevertheless hold sovereignty.
The exercise of such a right of withdrawal in a time close to the provisional order made by the Court of Arusha and a few months before the presidential elections is abusive and takes away all good faith from its author.
By this decision, the Ivorian authorities decided to withdraw from their citizens and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) the right to directly seize the African court of human and peoples’ rights.
By this rough decision, the Ivorian authorities give themselves a much wider and dangerously sufficient margin of maneuver to trample in profusion the rights of these citizens being understood that from now on the citizens (the weakest); and NGOs (the voice of the voiceless) are deprived of their essential rights to have recourse to the ACHPR when they have failed to obtain justice before national courts.
Such an unjustifiable and indefensible decision, which cannot be based on the rational principle of law, carries ineffable legal insecurity against the Ivorian people in particular and the peoples of African countries in general, however real holders of sovereignty.
Planète Paix calls for the vigilance and responsibility of the national and international community on the issue.
Planète Paix sadly notes with bitterness that in Côte d’Ivoire and in many African countries, democracy is sick of the political politics of these politicians.
Planète Paix invites the Ivorian authorities to admit that such a decision is a gross error and to pull themselves together because no State today can lock up or confine rights.
“A State is not like on the ground that it sits an inheritance ; it is a society of Men who alone can dispose of itself.”, Emmanuel Kant in Philosophical Essay on perpetual peace.
Planète Paix, Peace Organization, for Peace and Human Rights recalls that the law cannot accommodate personal and personalized tailoring, tailor-made and considers that such a decision is a forfeiture which cannot serve as an example in a world that only demands protection of human and peoples’ rights.
This augurs, no doubt, of a definite threat to the upcoming elections.
Planète Paix is therefore worried about the outcome of the upcoming elections and asks the national and international community to act as quickly as possible to save the sincerity of the vote, democracy, guarantee legal security, safety, life and rights of Ivorian citizens as well as citizens of other countries threatened by such an anti-democratic decision.
