Since March 2023, the Norwegian Protestant Mission (MPN) has begun to raise awareness in the community of Kédougou on non-violent education through the application of the International Child Development Programme (ICDP).
The women who met during the various ICDP meetings expressed satisfaction with the content of the programme. The implementation of the 8 guidelines has brought a change in their behaviour towards their children and the atmosphere in the family has changed positively.
Given the enthusiasm of participant women to implement the ICDP program, MPN saw fit to extend the ICDP outreach to other localities. This meant that a new group of facilitators needed to be formed who could provide training to new groups of mothers in different localities.
In order to achieve this objective, they engaged the ICDP trainer, Aubin Sanou, who provided training services covering the following activities:
-Monitoring and evaluation of the current ICDP facilitators
-Refresher course for ICDP facilitators
-Training of new ICDP facilitators
-Exchanges on awareness-raising/sensitization process and monitoring tools
These activities took place from 6th to the 27th of April, 2025 in the community of Kédougou.
