Garry Conille has a resume in international development almost as long as his list of things to do to make gender equality a reality around the world.
Former prime minister of Haiti, advisor to Bill Clinton and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, an obstetrician by training and practice, and now regional director for Africa at the U.N. Office for Project Services, Conille has been deeply involved in making the Millennium Development Goals on the ground throughout the world.
Devex spoke with him about the progress made so far on the MDGs, the work that needs to be done, and how UNOPS is helping turn political will into action in Africa.
