The High Commissioner of the province of Namentenga, Adama Conseiga, recognized the significant impact of the Wend Kouni association on local development.

He encouraged the association to strive for public utility recognition due to its work in enhancing the province's development. Mr. Conseiga also commended the association's efforts for the welfare of the local population.

During the general assembly, project managers presented the physical and financial outcomes of various initiatives. The presentations included details such as project names, partners, funding amounts, objectives, duration, target audiences, localities, implementing actors, and challenges faced. The projects focused on areas like internally displaced persons recovery, soil restoration, health, economic empowerment of women and youth, literacy, child protection, and vocational training.

Some project managers highlighted difficulties, including limited access to high-security risk areas and low recovery rates of training costs.
