Bonjour / Good morning ! Chers frères, chères sœurs, chers amis d’AFRALO, Je tiens avant tout à remercier chaleureusement toute la famille AFRALO pour la confiance renouvelée qu’elle m’accorde. Mes remerciements vont également à l’ensemble des candidats ainsi qu’à tous les votants, pour cette belle démonstration de démocratie, d’engagement et d’esprit communautaire au sein de notre organisation. C’est avec beaucoup d’humilité, de gratitude et de responsabilité que j’accueille ma réélection pour un second mandat en tant que Secrétaire d’AFRALO. Les expériences acquises et les enseignements tirés de ce premier mandat renforcent aujourd’hui ma détermination à poursuivre et à intensifier le travail accompli ensemble. Je m’engage à continuer à promouvoir une participation toujours plus active et inclusive, à encourager des contributions constructives et éclairées au bénéfice de l’ensemble de notre communauté africaine. Je suis pleinement conscient des responsabilités qu’implique cette fonction et je reste animé par une motivation intacte pour servir AFRALO avec rigueur et disponibilité. Aujourd’hui, notre communauté compte 82 ALS réparties dans 34 pays, ainsi que 47 membres individuels. Cette richesse humaine et géographique constitue une force que nous devons continuer à consolider ensemble. Pour ce nouveau mandat, mes priorités dans mon périmètre de Secrétaire d'AFRALO, seront notamment les suivantes : 1. Suivi et valorisation des activités des ALS Renforcer la visibilité des initiatives et des réalisations de nos ALS à travers nos différents canaux de communication et de collaboration. 2. Renforcement des échanges et de l’écoute communautaire Mettre en place un cadre structuré permettant de mieux recueillir les besoins, préoccupations et propositions des ALS afin d’y répondre de manière plus efficace et coordonnée. 3. Expansion et inclusion de la communauté AFRALO Encourager l’intégration de nouvelles ALS, notamment dans les vingt pays africains encore peu représentés ou absents de notre communauté, afin de rendre AFRALO encore plus inclusive et représentative de toute l’Afrique. Pour atteindre ces objectifs et consolider notre dynamique collective, la participation et l’engagement de chacun seront essentiels. AFRALO est notre maison commune, et c’est ensemble que nous continuerons à la faire grandir. C’est avec vous, et pour vous, que je souhaite poursuivre ce travail au service de notre communauté. Je vous remercie encore sincèrement pour votre confiance renouvelée et espère pouvoir continuer à servir AFRALO avec votre soutien et votre collaboration. Vive AFRALO ! Merci à toutes et à tous. *---------------------------------------------* Dear brothers, dear sisters, dear friends of AFRALO, First and foremost, I would like to sincerely thank the entire AFRALO family for the renewed confidence placed in me. My gratitude also goes to all the candidates and all the voters for this strong demonstration of democracy, commitment, and community spirit within our organization. It is with great humility, gratitude, and a deep sense of responsibility that I accept my re-election for a second term as AFRALO Secretary. The experience gained and the lessons learned during my first term further strengthen my determination to continue and expand the work we have accomplished together. I remain committed to fostering even greater participation and inclusiveness, encouraging constructive and informed contributions, for the benefit of our entire African community. I am fully aware of the responsibilities that come with this role, and I remain strongly motivated to serve AFRALO with diligence and dedication. Today, our community includes 82 ALSes across 34 countries, along with 47 individual members. This human and geographic diversity is a strength that we must continue to build upon together. For this new term, my priorities within my role as AFRALO Secretary will include the following: 1. Monitoring and Promoting ALS Activities Strengthening the visibility of the initiatives and achievements of our ALSes through our various communication and collaboration channels. 2. Strengthening Communication and Community Engagement Establishing a more structured framework to better collect and address the needs, concerns, and proposals of ALSes in a more effective and coordinated manner. 3. Expanding and Strengthening the AFRALO Community Encouraging the integration of new ALSes, especially from the twenty African countries that remain underrepresented or absent from our community, in order to make AFRALO even more inclusive and representative of the African continent as a whole. To achieve these goals and further strengthen our collective momentum, the participation and commitment of everyone will be essential. AFRALO is our shared home, and together we will continue to make it stronger and more impactful. It is with you, and for you, that I wish to continue this work in service of our community. Once again, I sincerely thank you for your renewed trust and look forward to continuing to serve AFRALO with your support and collaboration. Long live AFRALO! Thank you all.

Bonjour / Good morning !
Chers frères, chères sœurs, chers amis d’AFRALO,
Je tiens avant tout à remercier chaleureusement toute la famille AFRALO pour la confiance renouvelée qu’elle m’accorde.
Mes remerciements vont également à l’ensemble des candidats ainsi qu’à tous les votants, pour cette belle démonstration de démocratie, d’engagement et d’esprit communautaire au sein de notre organisation.
C’est avec beaucoup d’humilité, de gratitude et de responsabilité que j’accueille ma réélection pour un second mandat en tant que Secrétaire d’AFRALO. Les expériences acquises et les enseignements tirés de ce premier mandat renforcent aujourd’hui ma détermination à poursuivre et à intensifier le travail accompli ensemble.
Je m’engage à continuer à promouvoir une participation toujours plus active et inclusive, à encourager des contributions constructives et éclairées au bénéfice de l’ensemble de notre communauté africaine.
Je suis pleinement conscient des responsabilités qu’implique cette fonction et je reste animé par une motivation intacte pour servir AFRALO avec rigueur et disponibilité.
Aujourd’hui, notre communauté compte 82 ALS réparties dans 34 pays, ainsi que 47 membres individuels. Cette richesse humaine et géographique constitue une force que nous devons continuer à consolider ensemble.
Pour ce nouveau mandat, mes priorités dans mon périmètre de Secrétaire d'AFRALO, seront notamment les suivantes : 1. Suivi et valorisation des activités des ALS
Renforcer la visibilité des initiatives et des réalisations de nos ALS à travers nos différents canaux de communication et de collaboration. 2. Renforcement des échanges et de l’écoute communautaire
Mettre en place un cadre structuré permettant de mieux recueillir les besoins, préoccupations et propositions des ALS afin d’y répondre de manière plus efficace et coordonnée. 3. Expansion et inclusion de la communauté AFRALO
Encourager l’intégration de nouvelles ALS, notamment dans les vingt pays africains encore peu représentés ou absents de notre communauté, afin de rendre AFRALO encore plus inclusive et représentative de toute l’Afrique.
Pour atteindre ces objectifs et consolider notre dynamique collective, la participation et l’engagement de chacun seront essentiels. AFRALO est notre maison commune, et c’est ensemble que nous continuerons à la faire grandir.
C’est avec vous, et pour vous, que je souhaite poursuivre ce travail au service de notre communauté.
Je vous remercie encore sincèrement pour votre confiance renouvelée et espère pouvoir continuer à servir AFRALO avec votre soutien et votre collaboration. Vive AFRALO !
Merci à toutes et à tous.

Dear brothers, dear sisters, dear friends of AFRALO,
First and foremost, I would like to sincerely thank the entire AFRALO family for the renewed confidence placed in me.
My gratitude also goes to all the candidates and all the voters for this strong demonstration of democracy, commitment, and community spirit within our organization.
It is with great humility, gratitude, and a deep sense of responsibility that I accept my re-election for a second term as AFRALO Secretary. The experience gained and the lessons learned during my first term further strengthen my determination to continue and expand the work we have accomplished together.
I remain committed to fostering even greater participation and inclusiveness, encouraging constructive and informed contributions, for the benefit of our entire African community.
I am fully aware of the responsibilities that come with this role, and I remain strongly motivated to serve AFRALO with diligence and dedication.
Today, our community includes 82 ALSes across 34 countries, along with 47 individual members. This human and geographic diversity is a strength that we must continue to build upon together.
For this new term, my priorities within my role as AFRALO Secretary will include the following: 1. Monitoring and Promoting ALS Activities
Strengthening the visibility of the initiatives and achievements of our ALSes through our various communication and collaboration channels. 2. Strengthening Communication and Community Engagement
Establishing a more structured framework to better collect and address the needs, concerns, and proposals of ALSes in a more effective and coordinated manner. 3. Expanding and Strengthening the AFRALO Community
Encouraging the integration of new ALSes, especially from the twenty African countries that remain underrepresented or absent from our community, in order to make AFRALO even more inclusive and representative of the African continent as a whole.
To achieve these goals and further strengthen our collective momentum, the participation and commitment of everyone will be essential. AFRALO is our shared home, and together we will continue to make it stronger and more impactful.
It is with you, and for you, that I wish to continue this work in service of our community.
Once again, I sincerely thank you for your renewed trust and look forward to continuing to serve AFRALO with your support and collaboration.
Long live AFRALO!
Thank you all.
