• The organization of discovery visits and exchanges with civil society organizations and state institutions;
• The organization of co-construction workshops (3 workshops) which brought together about 20 institutions;
• The organization of individual and collective exchanges for the strategic orientation of the intervention in Benin taking into account the realities of the context.
