Message: [QUOTE="Shamiso, post: 83845, member: 160"] A government agriculture project wants people to call a hotline about problems. The GIRAV initiative under the Ministry of Agriculture promoted its toll-free grievance number across communities in the North Bank Region. Officials held sessions to raise awareness for the line, integrated into an agricultural extension platform called Sene Nyaa Bantaba. Social Safeguards Specialist Fafanding Katri Kinteh said the program empowers farmers to report incidents and production challenges directly. The goal is timely resolution through the Regional Agriculture Directorate. Environmental Specialist Ebrima Dem explained the line lets beneficiaries submit evidence on project progress and contractor issues. This evidence provides key information to project partners like the World Bank regarding various interventions. These include garden projects, road works, and seed support systems. Assistant Monitoring Officer Sheikh Joof demonstrated using the number in all local languages to streamline reporting. Deputy Regional Director Buba Daffeh welcomed the mechanism for promoting better agricultural output. Community leaders expressed appreciation for the project's tangible benefits. One leader from Lansarr thanked officials for a modern vegetable garden with solar panels and irrigation. A women's group president acknowledged support like tractors, improved seeds, and a forthcoming agro logistic center. A contract for road construction was also noted to help transport farm produce. The overall push aims to strengthen food security through direct community feedback channels. [/QUOTE]
