Une étape importante dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre du Projet d’Investissement pour la Résilience des Zones côtières en Afrique en Côte d’Ivoire (WACA ResiP) vient d’être franchie avec l’installation du 22 au 28 mars 2020, de 5 Comités Locaux du Mécanisme de Gestion des Plaintes (MGP) dans le département de Grand-Lahou, zone pilote du projet WACA.
