The second virtual round table of the South-South Exchange and Learning Platform has kept its promises. More than a 100 participants, including client counterparts from Guinea, Benin, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Benin, Niger, Cameroon , Togo, Burkina Faso and Mali and the Bank staff listened with care to the rich experience shared by Mercy Corps on the "Social Capital and Social Cohesion Measurement Toolkit For CDD Operations ” developed with the World Bank and on its "PEACE" project in Niger. 

The Coordinators of the Project Implementation Units of Benin, Guinea and Senegal completed this exchange of experience and learning with specific examples of the strategies and results recorded on specific Social Cohesion projects implemented in their respective countries. 

Looking forward to the third roundtable on the theme: "How community and local development can support climate resilience and adaptation to climate change ?" !
