SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE: (Duration(Date)/Title) (Summary of Main Achievements)

May 2005 to present Country Director. UNDP Cote d'lvoire.In Cote d'lvoire, from May 2003: at first as DRR, then for the period 1 June-13 October 2003, asRR a. i. and later as DRR/P. Contributed decisively to move towards a more cohesive andmotivated office and led UNDP CO with success towards greater public presence, much highermobilization of resources (to mention: GFATM for 18M$, DDR and other programmes with bilateralsfor 10M$) and increased delivery (almost 100% delivery rate, with an absolute amount close to 5M$more than twice as much as in 2002). Strengthened, established and re-bridged partnerships with

different stakeholders. Settled recovery of the NEX advances amounts, owed by the governmentsince 2000. Contributed to: a. the work of the Security Management Team in critical passages and b. tothe UN team with respect to an important initiative in the education sector, together with otherdevelopment partners.

With the arrival of the RR in October 2003, continued to contribute dramatically (as indicated inthe RCA) to the upward trend in delivery (close to 17M, in 2004, and a rate of almost 100%),RM (almost 20M in 2004) and a pipeline of 80M as of beginning of 2005, with an enlarged base.Contributed significantly to the attainment of the 2004 substantive results. As "UNDP chiefrepresentative" contributed valuably to the work of the SMT, UNCT and IAHCC. Actedfrequently, as RRai, "and stepped in, effectively, resourcefully and efficiently, as UNDP de factoCountry Director, since the appointment of the RR as DSRSG".

More recently in addition to the areas being already worked (anti-poverty programmes at thelocal level, HIV-AIDS and GFATM, of which a 2nd phase for 30M$ has been secured for 2006-8, DDR and elections), pursued new partnerships with interesting resources mobilizationopportunities, namely with IFAD, decentralized cooperation, private sector and UN with respect,especially, to the facilitation of the establishment of the Office of High representative forElections, following the Pretoria agreements and the SC resolution 1603 of July 2005. TheNHDR on social cohesion disseminated in 2005 and, what is more, the next NHDR ondevelopment at the local level will certainly contribute to the post-crisis panorama attentive tothe local autonomies and identities.

March 2003 to May 2003. Senior Programme Advisor. UNDP Sudan, based in Nairobi, Kenya. Ontemporary assignment as Liaison Officer for south Sudan, identified strategic entry points for programdevelopment; elaborated MOU with SPLM; initiated programs in area-based rehabilitation andgovernance; established the program support office for south Sudan; established and developedrelationships with national and international counterparts.

September 2001 to February 2003. Resident Representative a.i. and DRR (Libya)October. 1999 to September 2001 and February to March 2003. DRR (Libya)Led the CO staff and built partnerships in the country as well as within the organization to strategicallymove Undp Libya from a demand-oriented very small programme, to a relevant Undp with a much biggerprogramme (and policy interventions) especially in mainstream Undp areas such as support to selectedregions in their local development efforts, ICT for development, HIV/AIDS prevention, and environment.Furthermore, the CO moved from a serious financial crisis to a situation with no debts, with a strategicbudgetary reserve and programme resources of more than a year including also a DAS facility forprogramme development to seize the opportunities arising because of the increased relevance of UNDPLibya. In spite of the very small presence of UN agencies, few inter-agency initiatives, including the oneon HIV/AIDS, were pursued with good success. I have built fruitful partnerships with donor countries (ina non-aid recipient country such as Libya). Mobilized resources from government and bilaterals.Continued to do on-the-job training both to programme and operations staff.As DRR, contributed strategically to develop the programme, to increase substantially the delivery of theprogramme and to implement the re-profiling action plan making the development of the staff a priority.
