A Report titled "105 promises, 13 achievements" criticizes Gabonese President Ali Bongo's second 7-year term. The report states that many infrastructure projects promised by the President were not carried out, leading to a rise in unemployment and poverty rates. Although some improvements were made, such as allocating 30% of civil servant positions to women and passing bills to improve port activity, more needs to be done. The report's authors hope to raise public awareness ahead of the upcoming presidential polls, where Bongo and his rival Jean Ping are expected to compete.
