After 11 embassies visited, the CAFRAD delegation, led by the Director General of CAFRAD, Dr. Coffi Dieudonné ASSOUVI, was warmly received in audience by His Excellency Mr. Henri MANGAYA YANGE MONDOWA, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Democratic Republic of Congo near the Kingdom of Morocco, assisted by Mr. Evariste BAKONDJ’a ​​SAPHO, Minister-Counsellor, and Mr. ZEOBA TORANGO Gaylord Nicéphore, second Advisor at the Embassy.

This visit is part of the diplomatic offensive of the new Director General in order to remobilize Member States and technical and financial partners of the Pan-African Intergovernmental Organization around the new vision for CAFRAD, in the service of the global, digital and intelligent transformation of African public and private administrations.

Seizing the opportunity to express his gratitude to Member States for his election, the Director General sets the objective of sharing the challenges facing the Organization and collecting their expectations to improve the programs of the Institute which aims to become a legitimate center for training, research, documentation, publication and consulting on postmodern issues of public action in a context of porosity in the public and private sectors. This approach was widely welcomed by His Excellency Mr. Henri MANGAYA YANGE MONDOWA, who expressed his keen interest in the new CAFRAD roadmap.

In addition, CAFRAD also proposed new collaboration prospects, in particular through assistance in seeking innovative financing in order to create intelligent infrastructures, the implementation of digital and ecological transformation, or even the training of senior officers and magistrates of Member States in a transdisciplinary perspective on decision-making.

His Excellency Mr. Henri MANGAYA YANGE MONDOWA also urged his host to implement robust actions to increase the visibility of the Organization and arouse the interest of States, in particular the importance of contacting Ministers directly, and communicate the ambitious program that CAFRAD intends to implement in 2025.

In conclusion, the work session ended on a note of good understanding and promises from both parties to continue collaboration, within the framework of exchange of ideas for cooperation, as well as information and documentation. CAFRAD wishes to rely on the support of Member States through their embassies for the realization of its many ambitious projects.
