  14. Sidiki KONE: Président AMPPF (AM) du Mali says:

    Merci à vous cher Alvaro pour cette mise à jour.

    La demarche et le style utilisés sont très professionnels car dans ce genre de situation, il faut avancer avec prudence, tact et méthode pour maintenir notre action qui profite et qui continue de profiter au bien-être des populations qui aspirent encore et encore à un bien-être, à plus de droits et d’égalité de genre.

    Puisque toutes les AMs ne s’inscrivent pas dans cette logique de séparation dans cette région, il faut oeuvrer à garantir la présence de l’IPPF à leurs côtés pour leur permettre de renforcer leurs capacités d’actions au profit de leur population.

    Aussi, comment enrôler des associations membres dans les pays qui s’inscrivent dans la dynamique de rupture avec le bureau régional ou comment développer une architecture d’actions qui facilitent aux AMs restantes une couverture plus large des besoins des populations de la zone concernée.

    De mon point de vue, l’IPPF devra garantir aux populations de la zone l,’accès aux services de DSSR.

    Du courage au Directeur régional et toute ses équipes du secrétariat mondial et des bureaux régionaux pour l’excellent travail que je trouve hautement professionnel dans un cadre où les AMs se sentent encore plus impliquées et considérées comme le noyau et le socle de la nouvelle IPPF réformée à Delhi.

    Je me joins à vous au nom de mes collègues volontaires de l’AMPPF (AM du Mali) et de la direction exécutive pour féliciter la toute nouvelle directrice régionale du monde arabe. Cette nomination traduit la volonté de cultiver l’excellence et de proner la promotion interne, toute chose qui motiverait le personnel à termes.

    Salutations cordiales.
