Farewell Message from UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan, Vladanka Andreeva

As she concludes her four-and-a-half-year tenure in Azerbaijan, United Nations Resident Coordinator Vladanka Andreeva has shared a heartfelt message reflecting on her mission: one rooted in service, meaningful partnerships, and a deep commitment to people-centered development.

Since her arrival in 2021, Andreeva has worked closely with the Government of Azerbaijan, civil society organizations, the private sector, academia, and the UN Country Team to advance national development priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Throughout her tenure, she has championed inclusive development, social protection, quality education, gender equality, and support for families, ensuring that people remained at the heart of every UN initiative.

In her message, Andreeva highlights key milestones and the collective efforts that shaped the UN’s contribution to sustainable development in the country. She recalls the resilience and warmth of communities across Azerbaijan: from the northern and southern regions to those rebuilding in the Karabakh and East Zangezur economic regions. She also reflects on Azerbaijan’s global engagement, including the historic moment of COP29, when the country welcomed the world and advanced climate action together with UN partners.

The UN in Azerbaijan family extends its sincere gratitude to Vladanka Andreeva for her dedicated leadership, steady guidance, and unwavering commitment to the people of Azerbaijan.
