A Message from NP
Country Director
Looking back at 2014, we have faced many challenges together. It has been a year of heartbreak and hardwork. We have laughed together and cried together as we struggled to come
to terms with the reality of the terrible violence that has continued to shake the country.
We have learned a great deal, and have been able to contribute to keeping conflict affected
people around the country safe. We have welcomed many new colleagues into the family and
have sadly bade a few farewell.
Through all of this tragedy, we have been able to continue to develop and improve both the
programming and the operational sides of the house. All of these achievements are a testament to you – to each and everyone of you who
makes their contribution, who fulfills their responsibilities and who contributes to making sure that we
are doing everything we possibly can for improving
the safety and security of conflict affected communities.
“Thank You”
So as the year draws to a close, I am filled with gratitude and love for all of you and am looking forward to continuing our struggle together in the new year.
