The UNFPA Resident Representative met with Mr. Gaetan J.K. Patrick EGOUNLETY, General Director of Ecobank Gabon, to discuss collaboration prospects between the two organizations.

This meeting, focused on resource mobilization, highlighted opportunities to support initiatives aimed at empowering Gabonese populations, particularly women and youth.

Both parties share a common vision for sustainable development and agree on the importance of initiatives that have a lasting impact in the areas of health, education, and economic empowerment. One of the key priorities discussed was the need to raise funds to finance development programs targeting the most vulnerable groups. Ecobank Gabon, as a leading financial institution, could play a crucial role in supporting these projects.

The envisioned collaboration aims to enhance financial inclusion and provide economic opportunities through entrepreneurial skills training. This meeting marks an important turning point toward creating strong partnerships among the public and private sectors, as well as development agencies, demonstrating a shared commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in terms of gender equality and reducing inequalities.

By combining their efforts to mobilize the necessary resources, UNFPA and Ecobank Gabon are committed to building a promising future and contributing to the well-being of Gabonese populations.
