It was a great honour to participate in the two-week long Retreat before the 2026 Budget Retreat, organized by the Office of the Director General (ODG), which took place from 14th to 25th April 2025.
During the Retreat, Departments, Directorates, Organs, and Specialised Agencies presented their 2026 Program Budget, highlighting their strategic focus areas, initiatives, expected outputs, with remarks delivered by H.E. the AUC Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson and Director General.
The Retreat also provided a holistic perspective of the Union’s activities, allowing participants to identify overlaps, duplications, and opportunities for synergies, complementarities, and joint activities, leading to great outcomes. As part of networking, I am delighted to have met in person with Directors, and Head of Divisions and engaging briefly.
Attending and participating in the retreat offered a unique opportunity to make contributions and towards the objectives and overall success, as part of the ODG team. Many Thanks H.E. Amb. Fathallah Sijilmassi, Richard Hakizimana.
