Reduction of trade barriers: 35,500 FCFA or $71 USD were imposed by the Police, Gendarmerie, and Douane in the form of irregular fees to the Koro’s fatteners group while they were on their way to deliver their livestock to LAHAM in Kayes. More work needs to be done to eradicate this kind of corruption. Security Update No particular incidents were reported during this period in our intervention areas. However, the Government’s decision to maintain a complete ban on motorcycles and pickup vehicles continues to heavily affect the normal undertaking of our activities. For instance, on several occasions our field agents could not travel to certain locations to train the POs, due to the absence of public transportation or unavailable rental vehicles to take them. Given that, we continue to seek any support that could help us minimize this adverse impact on our program before too long.
