Why it matters
The initiative involves CDEC increasing both document-based and on-site inspections and pursuing recovery proceedings. This effort is part of a strategy to mobilize funds, which the government has provided means to achieve. CDEC expects its resource stock to reach CFA150 billion by the end of 2026.
