As Programme Officer for FAO in Senegal, I support RIPOSTES, a project focused on reforestation and strengthening
ecosystem resilience. We involve UN Volunteers because inclusivity is at the heart of how we work. Engaging young people—
especially young UN Volunteers—is a key priority for us.
We rely on the energy and commitment of all volunteers. By working together, reflecting collectively, and supporting one
another on the ground, we can turn our vision of a strong, community-driven dynamic into reality. That’s how we’ll achieve
our goals and build forward better.
