Besides, emphasis has been placed on risk management with the creation of the National Agricultural Insurance Company (CNAAS) and several plans dedicated to flood and water management. The government has implemented various measures to improve nutrition and sanitation and to fight against social exclusion. In this regard, progress has been made in access to drinking water and reduction of food insecurity.
