He will be departing Tanzania mid-January to take on a new assignment as Chief of Staff and Director of the Executive Office at UNDP Headquarters, New York.
After serving as the leader of the UN system in the United Republic of Tanzania for almost four and a half years, Mr. Kacou has nothing but good memories of the country and its people. He congratulated the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, especially in the operationalization of a Government of National Unity. He also conveyed his sincere appreciation for the trust, support and cooperation provided to the United Nations system, and assured the government of the continuing assistance from the United Nations in addressing Zanzibar’s development challenges.
H.E. First Vice President congratulated Mr. Kacou for “his successful leadership in making the UN system grow stronger.” Similarly, H.E Second Vice President thanked Mr. Kacou for “leading the various UN agencies towards more coherent and effective assistance to Zanzibar.”
Tanzania is one of seven pilot countries implementing the Delivering As One approach aimed at achieving greater impact on development challenges, through a more coordinated, coherent, and efficient manner. The UN sub-office in Zanzibar, inaugurated in 2009 by the UN Secretary General, was established in order to make sure that UN agencies provide the most effective assistance to Zanzibar, in line with the principles of the Delivering As One initiative. It is one of a few joint offices in the world where UN agencies are under one roof and share in the management of the office.
