Bio

I am a senior international cooperation professional with over 25 years of experience, including the implementation of European Union-funded programs. I have 7 years of experience as a Homologue National, where I was responsible for the strategic and operational management of European Development Fund (EDF) programs in Madagascar.

I managed a portfolio of €9 million and was responsible for the implementation and completion of 727 projects throughout the country, ensuring compliance with EU procedures, consistency with European Union development policies, while ensuring consistency with the State's sectoral policies and the integration of cross-cutting priorities (governance, sustainability, inclusion, accountability). My expertise covers results-based management (RBM), logical frameworks, multi-year programming, audits and compliance checks, as well as institutional coordination with the EU Delegation, ministries, and local authorities, mainly municipalities.

I was instrumental in the creation of the Execution Unit "Cellule d’Opération de l’Union Européenne", responsible for overseeing the implementation of the 7th EDF Microréalisation and  Coopération Décentralisée Programmes in Madagascar. This innovative structure, composed of project managers, engineers, national and European technicians, drivers, and support staff, as well as the EDF Technical Assistant, was built to function as a highly effective multidisciplinary team.

Thanks to a matrix organization, the Execution Unit has acquired exceptional agility, enabling it to respond quickly to changing priorities in the field while maintaining optimal efficiency in terms of resources and operating costs. This flexible and structured approach demonstrates my ability to create, organize, and motivate a multidisciplinary and multicultural team around common goals. 

The innovation also concerned the methodology for implementing the projects. Beyond the technical evaluation of the proposed solutions, an approach was introduced that reinforced transparency, accountability, and local ownership: beneficiaries had to set up functional management structures capable of supervising their own projects. Their managers had to guarantee total transparency in the use of the funds allocated to them and the materials used. The Unit was responsible for ensuring technical rigor, verifying the proper use of funds, and providing the necessary support to guarantee compliance with EU standards.

This strategy has resulted in:

• remarkable efficiency in project execution,

• lasting socio-economic and cultural impacts,

• greater local ownership,

• and a sense of pride among communities, who perceived the achievements as an effective response with immediate effects that improve their daily lives.

By creating this unit and overseeing its operations, I demonstrated a proven ability to devise effective organizational models, lead multidisciplinary teams, and transform complex projects into tangible, sustainable, and beneficiary-centered actions.
