The UN Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative, Levan Bouadze, completes his mission as the Head of UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji today and will take up his new assignment in New York in mid-January 2023.
Pending the arrival of Bouadze’s successor, UNDP Deputy Resident Representative, Yemesrach Workie, will serve as Officer-in-Charge and an interim Resident Representative will soon join.
“It has been a privilege to serve in the region and over the past three and half years, I have witnessed the strength and resilience of the Pacific people as they continue to work towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals,” said Bouadze.
“It’s bittersweet to announce the end of my mission. I will miss the Pacific greatly. And I thank all our partners, colleagues, and friends for the great collaboration and friendships. I will leave with great memories of the people of Fiji and the Pacific.”
During his mission, the Multi-Country Programme Document (MCPD) 2023-2027 for the Pacific Office in Fiji was developed for member countries that will set UNDP’s strategic plan for the next five years.
Bouadze and his family leave our shores this evening for New York.
