After one year, we would like to know how they have performed, what their problems were, the difficulty they encountered so that together in a more participatory approach, our ambition year in year out is to increase our performance. We are going to ensure that they bring bilingualism, multiculturalism and living together to the grassroots and you can only do that when you have a relay structure on the ground because that is where the president wants the message to be better understood”
