As part of this process, the Ministry of the Interior and Territorial Collectivities plans to meet the 572 presidents of the municipal section boards of directors (CASEC) in order to involve them more in the process of registering the populations living particularly in the most remote areas of the country in accordance with the instructions of the President of the Republic.
