Servir le Niger au sein du @PnudNiger n’a jamais été une aventure solitaire.
C’est ensemble , avec le Gouvernement, les partenaires, les agences soeurs, mes collègues et les communautés que nous avons fait avancer le développement, la dignité et la paix.
Chaque mission a une fin, mais la conviction qui nous anime demeure : celle de croire en la force des peuples, en la solidarité, et en l’avenir de l’Afrique.
Merci à toutes celles et ceux qui ont marché à mes côtés.
L’engagement continue, autrement, mais toujours au service de l’humain. 💚
