Dear partners,
Dedicated collaborators,
Dear Friends of Peace,
As we embark on this new year, I extend my sincere wishes for health, happiness and prosperity. As we begin this new chapter, let us remember the importance of our collective commitment to peace, both in Africa and globally.
The challenges we face are many, but our determination to build a better future remains our greatest strength. Together, we have the power to inspire positive change and promote mutual understanding.
Our institution, a true pillar in the field of training and research in the service of peace, has gone through decisive moments, and this, in a particularly complex political and security context. Faced with the multiple challenges facing Africa, the EMP-ABB, faithful to its vocation, remains a key player in the promotion of peace and stability in our sub-region and beyond.
Current challenges call for bold and innovative responses. It is with this in mind that we are placing 2025 under the banner of consolidation, innovation and openness.
Thus, the EMP-ABB will first have to strengthen and improve its pool of permanent and temporary executives, both national and international, in order to maintain the academic excellence that characterizes it. It will also be a matter of the School being more attractive and more competitive through the training modules offered and of increasing its influence through an effective communication policy and a dense and extensive network of strategic partnerships.
At the same time, the School will work to develop a genuine culture of innovation underpinned by an exhaustive analysis of existing processes, the promotion of new initiatives, particularly in research projects and the development of new training modules, as well as the improvement of the School's Alumni monitoring system in order to better assess the impact of the sessions conducted on the socio-professional careers of the participants.
Finally, increasing the infrastructure capacity of EMP-ABB is a priority objective in view of the growing number of participants in its sessions (certifying and diploma-granting), the expansion of its training catalogue and the constant need to adapt to technical and technological developments to which the world of training is subject.
In short, 2025 will be a year of collaborative and integrated transformation. Together, we will continue to build on the solid foundations we have established, with a focus on excellence, innovation and international cooperation. I am confident that, thanks to your commitment and dedication, EMP-ABB will continue to be a vital pillar in the training of peacemakers around the world.
I would like to express my deep gratitude to the entire EMP-ABB community for their continued commitment and valuable support in achieving our common goals.
May this year be synonymous with new opportunities to strengthen our ties, to foster dialogue and the construction of a more just and harmonious world. By joining forces, we can transform dreams of peace into reality.
I wish everyone a year full of fruitful collaborations and shared successes.
With my sincere thanks and best wishes for 2025.

Long live Africa united in peace!
