Message from the President

Conviction is an empty word until it is translated into action.

Promoting investment as well as entrepreneurship, innovation, enhancement and sustainable employment; action against poverty and support humanitarian actions are the actions that reflect our belief.

Notwithstanding its limits, which are undoubtedly specific to the forced march of its history, CIPIVIE continues and will continue to forge a deserved reputation, more through its experience in the field than through its convenient dedication. With the present Strategic Plan in our hands, we thus have a salutary tool of incentive to fulfill our share of duty in the desired sense, that of human development, of taking into account Man, not as "an object of aid", but as a real development partner.

Such is the profound meaning of our mission.

Mr Hubert HOLLANGUE
International President of CIPIVIE
