In June 2024, we organized a two (2) day workshop to work on action plans for the operationalization of 2NIBA funds. For this workshop, we brought together teams from the Ministries of Health of Burkina, Cote d'Ivoire, Mali and Senegal, the UNFPA representative, the FP2030 representative, the Expand FP representative and the INSPiRE teams.

From January 23 to 24, 2024, we took part in the annual meeting organized by the INSPiRE teams. The aim of this meeting was to enable OP countries to build their budgets and plan activities in favor of maternal and child health for the year 2024.

Baobab Institute took part in the partnership's annual meeting in Ougadougou, Côte d'Ivoire, from December 11 to 13, 2023. On this occasion, we were able to present 2NIBA to announce the launch of the program and to bring together new local partners.
