ON Wednesday July 12, 2023, under the Very High Presidency of His Excellency Ali BONGO ONDIMBA, President of the Republic, Head of State, the Council of Ministers met at 10 a.m. at the Palace of the Presidency of the Republic.
Opening the proceedings, the President of the Republic, Head of State, His Excellency Ali BONGO ONDIMBA, attached to the well-being and the constant improvement of the living conditions of his compatriots from all social strata, returned to the notion of recognition of citizenship materialized for each individual, in this case children, by the possession of a birth certificate issued by the chain of competent services of hospital structures and civil status centers.
In view of the difficulties encountered by certain families in obtaining birth certificates for their offspring, the President of the Republic has instructed the Government to regularize the situation of the persons concerned and establish the issue, which is now free and unconditional. This measure is valid both in public and private hospital services for birth certificates, and in civil status centers for birth certificates.
Continuing the work, the Council of Ministers sent its warm congratulations to the President of the Republic Head of State, His Excellency Ali BONGO ONDIMBA for the resounding and popular success of the Republican Tour conducted in its last phase in the provinces of Woleu-Ntem, Haut-Ogooué and Ogooué-Ivindo.
Welcomed with enthusiasm by the populations of the different localities, the Head of State carefully followed the concerns presented by his compatriots, which related, as at each of the different stages he visited, to the problems of the road, water supply and electricity, health, education, support for women in their activities, youth unemployment and the human/wildlife conflict, among other issues.
In response to these concerns, the President of the Republic reassured the entire population of his constant commitment and determination as well as that of the Government to pursue and expand, through ministerial action, projects aimed at improving the living conditions of Gabonese men and women.
In addition, the Head of State reiterated certain concrete measures aimed at the full development of the populations through the provision of three important funds, namely:
– the Local Development Fund intended to finance local projects resulting from the choices made by the populations, under the supervision of the provincial governors;
– the Fund intended to finance Income Generating Activities (IGA) in support of women traders;–
– the Fund for the creation of small businesses by young Gabonese.
