Dear Iréne

On behalf of the NGO JED, I thank you and congratulate you for the excellent work carried out for the evaluation and definition of our strategy for the next five years. You have demonstrated professionalism and fine intelligence. in group coaching and collaborative work.

thanks again

Ibrahima GUEYE, Executive Director, YOUTH AND DEVELOPMENT

Irène lived up to expectations by providing us with a clear, encouraging and professional assessment while giving us suitable and accessible areas for improvement.

The second collaboration was to co-construct a workshop for reflection and work with six NGO partners from Senegal, Niger and Bolivia. We wanted the support of Efiscens to better build the workshop upstream and to have external support during the workshop.

Once again the collaboration was a success. Professional expectations were met and all the partners were able to leave the workshop satisfied, with the assurance of having learned new things and having grown.

It is likely that our professional paths will cross again!

Thank you for continuing to believe in EPIC-Africa and opening important doors.

Ms. Sesmaisons led the mid-term evaluation of the ECLAT program that JED is implementing in Senegal. We were impressed by the methodology adopted, its pragmatism and its efficiency; especially as regards the precision of the diagnosis, the advice and the respect of the deadlines. The report produced is useful to us in several respects insofar as it clearly identifies the areas of success, but also the points of attention while formulating recommendations to correct errors.

Efiscens is a quality partner with extreme efficiency.

Having collaborated together for the organization of our first forum in Senegal, as part of the Africa Days of SOS SAHEL, I was impressed by the involvement and professionalism of Irène Sesmaisons. She was able to form a real team with our employees, and supported us well above our expectations. We owe him the success of our event, the quality of the program, the speakers and the participants.

Rémi Hemeryck, Managing Director of SOS SAHEL

I would like to thank you very sincerely for this very precise and complete report which faithfully traces the progress of the assessment mission of the Rice / Ducks project in Casamance. This report explains very clearly the various strengths and weaknesses of our intervention strategy. I very much appreciate your sharp diagnostic skills, your capacity for analysis and synthesis as set out in this report.

I also thank you for the very constructive and encouraging testimony given to the quality of the collaboration between AGADA & AEV. Big thanks!!!!!

Irène successfully supported us in recruiting two senior account managers based in Dakar for our development and investment activities in West Africa. Irène was able to identify many talents and then make a relevant selection based on a complete analysis of their professional qualities, their experience but also their character, motivation and psychology. Thanks to a great sense of listening and an ability to project herself into our activities, Irène was able to give us the right recommendations and today, a year later, we do not regret these choices.

"Thank you very much for your report which was very interesting. It reflects the image of a dynamic and promising project and of a local team full of good will and energy to bring it to life." Anabelle Verdurme / Seed Foundation

"Our first meeting allowed us to realize how important it was to structure ourselves and to work in project mode and not in" one shot ". Our discussions pushed us to be more pragmatic. You push us to question and to a perpetual perspective. "

After visiting the two nursery schools that we built in the department of MBOUR, Irène was able to put us in touch with Dakar donors (associations, companies, foundations).

Irène was also able, during various interviews, to help me make a diagnosis and orient me on the future of the TCHE KANAM association.
