Mother’s Day 2026 was marked by a special celebration dedicated to the women of the PAC-CI Program. United under their association, AFPACCI (Association of Women in the PAC-CI Program), these hardworking women were honored during this special event.
Under the leadership of Ms. Aboua, President of AFPACCI, and thanks to the active involvement of her entire executive board, the festivities took place from Friday, May 29, to Monday, June 1, 2026, spanning four days filled with camaraderie, sharing, and recognition.
The first two days, Friday and Saturday, were devoted to a relaxing getaway at the FLORIS Hotel in Bonoua. The program included moments of relaxation, sports activities, a campfire, friendly conversations, and shared moments of joy, allowing each woman to recharge away from her usual work environment.
On Sunday, the participants returned to their respective families to continue the celebration in a family setting, true to the very spirit of Mother’s Day.
The highlight of the celebration took place on Monday with a particularly appreciated moment of togetherness: the women of AFPACCI hosted a convivial meal for all PAC-CI Program staff in a warm and festive atmosphere.
This celebration, organized for the first time on such a large scale, was greatly appreciated by all participants. It demonstrates not only the dynamism of AFPACCI but also the remarkable commitment and support of the PAC-CI Program Management as well as the Staff Association.
Through this initiative, the women of the PAC-CI Program have once again demonstrated that solidarity, camaraderie, and cohesion remain strong values that contribute to the institution’s reputation.
Our heartfelt congratulations to AFPACCI for this wonderful initiative, which helps strengthen cohesion, recognition, and a sense of family within the PAC-CI Program.
