Challenges
• A new program, implemented on a large scale (6,000 communes)
• A legislative framework needed to be developed for the program
• Financial mechanisms needed also to be developed for the
program, from the national to local levels
• Formation of a team of trained trainers and training materials was
an essential prerequisite
• Overlap of resources, information and database
• Management and co-ordination of different financial resources
• An overall organizational mechanism was required
