THE CHAIRMAN’S WELCOMING ADDRESS
In an ever-changing world, where man plays a crucial role in the socioeconomic development of his environment, it is man once again, paradoxically, who is at the heart of all concerns surrounding the social inequalities that we notice around the world.
These inequalities, nurtured over the passing decades by national policies which have not matched the perceived with the real needs of target communities, have trapped the rural communities in miserable conditions that continue to worsen as time goes by.
It’s high time we took action! To this end, we must re-examine the current policies of development and give priority to communities’ empowerment. We can achieve this only through the implementation of sustainable development projects to aid the aforesaid communities. This is the approach we have adopted as an organization, made up mostly of young people, who are committed to contributing to the prosperity of communities in Benin and across Africa by placing their talents at the service of development.
Ladies and gentlemen, speaking on behalf of the whole Afrik Talents-Impact (ATI) team, I welcome you to our blog. We hope to receive your future support, and thank you for your interest in this initiative.
Let’s strive together for a better world!
Bernard P. Vlakpa Hounwanou
Chairman of AFRIK TALENTS-IMPACT (ATI)
