These include the Luanda Biennale, scheduled for September 2021, and the Young Weavers for Peace project which concerns Gabon, Cameroon and Chad.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the renewal of the management team, the participants also looked at various points, including the assessment of activities, challenges and difficulties before identifying prospects for the smooth running of the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the review of activities, the Central Africa, North Africa and West Africa regions presented their work which was appreciated by the participants.<\/p>\n<p>Among the challenges and difficulties, we note the need for legal recognition of the various national coordinations in order to give PAYNCOP an official status of international organization and the economic empowerment of the organization, which essentially involves two main means: contributions from member coordinations and mobilization of funding from partners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.
