‘Defects and/or delays in delivery of food by local authorities, difficulties linked to quality controls, failures of service providers, etc., are, among other things, the reasons which led to this decision by the State’ , explained the representatives of the DAMSE, who also reassured the participants that arrangements have already been made to provide schools with food and supplies on the right date.

‘It is the National Food Security Stock Management Company (SONAGESS) which will be responsible for delivering food to the twelve regions other than the Center,’ they specified. They added that school supplies will be available in the Basic Education Districts (CEB) by the end of September 2024 at the latest.

After all the explanations, the participants, made up of agents from the provincial directorate
in charge of Education (DPEPPNF), those from the CEBs of Gourcy 1 and 2, parents of students, and teachers, firstly welcomed this decision by the government before hoping that the ministry will do everything possible to do better than the municipalities.
