In Côte d’Ivoire, Dr. Okou Roméo addressed concerns regarding urban development operations in Koumassi Campement conducted on June 3, 2026. He clarified that demolitions were restricted to “specific high-risk zones and areas occupied by precarious or non-compliant structures,” asserting that residential areas meeting hygiene and urban planning standards remained untouched. In the Tchologo region, the Rural Land Agency (AFOR) reported that the PRESFOR program has secured over 500,000 hectares, exceeding initial targets. This land security project, supported by the World Bank and the French Development Agency (AFD), aims to formalize village boundaries and agrarian contracts. In Burkina Faso, community groups, including the Association Tind Yalgré and the Regional Coordination of Women of Oubri, conducted a sanitation initiative at the Boussé Medical Center on September 24, 2026. The effort involved weeding and cleaning the facility to improve patient environments, alongside public health sessions aimed at preventing malaria and dengue by eliminating stagnant water.
