Level of stakeholder awareness about the IPEP policy and intervention, Observation of the composition and activities of the 10-regional Ad-hoc Committees and the Validation and reporting of District\/Constituency Infrastructural Needs Assessment.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mghUsHOBBmQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay;
