AARDO extends its heartfelt greetings to the entire AARDO family as we step into the year 2025. May this year bring peace, happiness, and good health to you all.

As we embark on this new chapter, AARDO reaffirms its commitment to harnessing the power of science, technology, and innovation to transform rural communities across Africa and Asia. The adoption of cutting-edge solutions in agriculture, water management, energy, and rural livelihoods remains central to our mission of achieving sustainable development.

In the coming New Year, Member Countries are expected to avail themselves of all AARDO’s technical programmes and activities. With full participation in all organizational activities and with the valuable contributions and proactive engagement, we would be able to address the pressing and immense challenges, faced by rural communities and promote inclusive growth.

May 2025 be a year of strengthened collaboration, enduring peace, and harmony. Together, let us uphold the spirit of solidarity, and unity and work collectively towards a brighter, more prosperous future for all.

Wishing you all a prosperous New Year.
