A resident of Rabia Taher neighborhood in Bab El-Zouar, where the project was implemented In the end, we discovered that the strategies were insufficient, as the social aspect was neglected, and thus the failure to build a good forward-looking plan, the weakness of the awareness campaigns, the absence of civil society elements and the lack of technical equipment needed for screening, which led to the failure of the project a few years after its creation.
