
The lack of involvement of some partners (civil society,
NGOs, developmental associations) weakens the process
toward the development of indicators

For the last three years there has not been a stand alone
micro plan for social mobilization. Social mobilization was
incorporated in the overall NIDs micro plan

Though the social mobilization indicators are relevant for a
better monitoring and evaluation of the results, they are have
not been systematically used.

The involvement of leaders in the resolution of refusal cases
is an important success factors
