Autant de chantiers que son Excellence Mohamed Ali Youssouf saura, je l’espère, mener. Je lui souhaite plein succès dans son mandat.

[Richard J. Randriamandrato @RichardJRand]

Malgré la pertinence du projet porté par Madagascar et notre attachement au succès de l’UA, je prends aujourd’hui acte, avec humilité, des résultats de ce 3e tour de l’élection à la présidence de la CUA, à la suite duquel ma candidature a été retirée faute de voix suffisantes.

L’Union africaine a urgemment besoin de réformes, elle doit mieux accompagner la croissance continentale, et faire preuve d’une plus grande agilité dans son fonctionnement.

[Richard J. Randriamandrato @RichardJRand]

This election is a milestone, but the commitment to a stronger, forward-looking African Union continues. Africa deserves an organisation that acts, rather than an institution that suffers.

Thank you for giving Africa the place it deserves!

As this campaign for the Presidency of the Commission of the @_AfricanUnion draws to a close, I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the Heads of State and officials who have placed their trust in me and listened to me

#Africa has all the resources to be an engine of global growth. The #AU must be the instrument that unlocks this potential and gives Africans the means to build their own destiny.

[Richard J. Randriamandrato @RichardJRand]

The @_AfricanUnion needs far-reaching reforms to make it more effective and more responsive to Africans. Too much bureaucracy, not enough action. It's time to act pragmatically so that young people, women and every citizen can benefit from our continent's immense potential. #UA

[Richard J. Randriamandrato @RichardJRand]

A decisive day for Africa! Today, the elections for the Presidency of the Commission of the #AfricanUnion begin in Addis Ababa. Honoured to be a candidate for a stronger, united and action-oriented AU. #Leadership #Agenda2063

[Richard J. Randriamandrato @RichardJRand]

Arrivé à Addis-Abeba pour un moment décisif : demain, les élections pour la Présidence de la Commission de l’@_AfricanUnion.

Engagement, vision et unité seront au cœur de mon engagement pour bâtir l’Afrique de demain.

President #DonaldTrump. As a leader who champions #MakeAmericaGreatAgain, you can maintain and improve #USAID's assistance in Africa. MAGA is not incompatible with USAID's missions in areas like social marketing, family planning and public health.

@jattali Faut pas s'étonner que la Chine en fasse autant avec Taïwan.

[Richard J. Randriamandrato @RichardJRand]

@duma_boko President Duma Boko. You are among the new generation of african leaders. I support you in your vision. We met in Dar es Salaam and I've seen you have the vision to lead your great country.

[Richard J. Randriamandrato @RichardJRand]

Un échec dans les négociations pour éviter la guerre au Kivu est un drame pour l'Afrique. L'Union Africaine #africanunion et les #NationsUnies doivent tout faire pour éviter une 3ème guerre au Congo. J'adresse ici ma solidarité avec le peuple de la RDC.

[Richard J. Randriamandrato @RichardJRand]

Home stretch for the election of chairmanship of the AU Commission #Africanunion. A contradictory debate between the 3 candidates seems more than imperative. MJADALA debate was a mere Q&A. Heads of state and government need to know more about our views.

[Richard J. Randriamandrato @RichardJRand]

Nigeria: show us the way forward. How do we go about such a bold step?

🌍 Including the informal economy in the calculation of GDP: a strategic challenge for #Africa

#Nigeria, Africa's largest economy, plans to review the calculation of its GDP. Great initiative that will radically change the economic growth of a country's real production growth.

[Richard J. Randriamandrato @RichardJRand]

These activities, although essential to economic life, are neither traceable nor included in official estimates, which often underestimates the real contribution of these economies.
