Point 3: Exploration/Targeting of new Sites
On the 09.03.2016, the project team searched for new sites in and around the village of Niamansra, located 55km from Agboville, just after Aboude Boua Vincent, to see if was possible to change the minds of the village people of Andepo, where there seemed little motivation among the young people and also to find available land for the implementation of project activities.

Point 4: Monitoring activities
This week the monitoring of activities was conducted by the project team, in chicken raising at Boka-Oho (2nd production cycle), and Aboude Dadie (3rd production cycle), as well as at Aboude Boa Vincent on the vegetable site. It noted that Boa Vincent has sold all the chickens of the 3rd production cycle.

Future activities:
- Fertilization in the Village of Niamansra
- Exploration for New Sites
- Distribution of Corn and the Implementation of Vegetable Nurseries.
