In his opening remarks, the coordinator stressed the importance of PIFORES for the beneficiary communities of the Matadi area. He called on the whole team to show professionalism, rigour, team spirit and commitment, so as to carry out the activities effectively and in line with the objectives set.
The discussions also covered each staff member's roles and responsibilities, coordination mechanisms and the priorities for the first interventions.
