To reinforce the need for accountability in the implementation of its funding, citizen monitoring of activities by civil society has been integrated into the monitoring and evaluation mechanism of the Food System Resilience Programme in West Africa (FSRP-Togo). To this end, training was organised from 18 to 19 January 2024 in Kpalimé (West Plateaux region) for members of civil society organisations who are members of the Coordination pour le suivi évaluation par la société civile (COSESC) (Coordination for monitoring and evaluation by civil society), with a view to ensuring a real understanding of the FSRP's intervention strategies, the key concepts and principles of results-based management, and the monitoring tools for exercising citizen control.
In the space of two days, almost 25 Togolese civil society players, including 10 women, have been equipped to better monitor and control the actions of the FSRP in Togo.
This participative and interactive training session was also an opportunity to share the objectives, expected results, intervention strategy, monitoring and evaluation mechanism and tools, gender mainstreaming, complaint management mechanisms and gender-based violence within the framework of the FSRP. The concepts of citizen control of public action (CCAP) were also presented, with examples.
