Overview Below are some of the key results and encouraging progress that REGIS-ER achieved during the quarter in implementing its sustainability strategy, which focuses on the promotion of three local institutions. These accomplishments provide clear evidence that the project is on the right path to sustaining resilience activities that it initiated or supported. Local Institution 1: Municipal Councils (CMs) • Commitment by the Communes of Concentration (CC): All of the CMs in the CCs of the 2 countries voted unanimously to accept ownership of REGIS-ER's successful activities and supported the Mayors’ choices of the 8 most successful project activities to be carried forward by the communes. • Development of monitoring tools for communes: Habbanayé Placements and Livestock Asset Transfers Tracker for Communes; 15 Open Defecation Free (ODF) post-evaluation action plans. • Increased involvement of resilience activities in commune events: information on Self-managed Community Savings and Loan System (SECCA) has been mainstreamed during commune gatherings, such as the adoption of the Sampelga Local Convention (Sahel Region, BF). • Conservation Farming/Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (CF/FMNR) action plans effectively implemented by Local Development Committees / Village Development Councils (CLDs/CVDs), especially in mobilizing producers (compost production, preparation of fields, information on inputs supply opportunities in their area, etc.). • Increased formal relationships with the communes on water point management: In Niger, in accordance with government regulations, management agreements were signed between 57 existing Water Point Management Committees (CGPEs) and their respective communes. Twelve other CGPEs received agreements issued by the communes. • Technical support for pump repairs: CMs supported market gardening groups in finding professional repairers for solar pumps. (The groups paid for the repairs.) Local Institution 2: Citizen Working Groups (CWGs) • Increasing collaboration between CMs and CWGs: REGIS-ER initiated the process of creating a public-private partnership between the CM and the CWG, a commune-level civil society organization. This alliance creates a synergy between two complementary local institutions that are striving to find practical solutions to resilience-related problems. • CWGs’ growing involvement in Habbanayé operations: In both countries, some members of the habbanayé committees have been elected to the CWGs’ best practices commissions, which is a good sign for local ownership
