A word from the founder

Thirty years in the service of measurable results

« A strategic plan alone does not solve problems. What is needed is evidence of the progress made, the changes brought to development through beneficiaries. And it is the monitoring and evaluation plan that truly enables data and progress to be collected up to the deadline. »
L'Œil d'Afrique, validation of UONGTO's strategic documents (in French), 2026

Managing director of REID Consulting since its creation in May 2005, he has nearly thirty years of studies, evaluations and results-based management training behind him, from Benin to Mali, from Togo to the Democratic Republic of Congo. He chairs the Platform of Civil Society Actors in Benin and the ASCINB nutrition alliance, headed the Francophone Africa programme of Globethics.net and represented West African civil society at the Busan Forum on aid effectiveness in 2011.
