Dandé:The special delegation of the commune of Dandé, under the leadership of President Adama Zoundi, conducted field visits from October 7 to 10, 2026. These visits were part of the second phase of the third edition of the Days of Patriotic Commitment and Citizen Participation (JEPPC). The initiative focused on maintaining the agricultural fields of the Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland (VDP), the agricultural VDPs, and the Ministry in charge of Agriculture, Animal and Fisheries Resources (MARAH).
