She stressed that state-level implementation was necessary to translate the national strategy into practical reforms.
The workshop, organised by the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption Programme and supported by the European Union, brought together government officials and other stakeholders to strengthen the implementation of the Plateau strategy.
