It is with great sadness that I inform you of the demise of Dr. Alioune Badiane on 31 July 2020 in Dakar, Senegal after a short illness. Alioune retired in 2016 after serving for over 25 years in UN-Habitat. While at UN-Habitat, Alioune served as Chief Technical Adviser, Regional Coordinator for the Urban Management Programme and Director for the Regional Office for Africa and the Arab States. At the time of his retirement he held the position of Director for the Programme Division. His sudden death has come as a shock to UN-Habitat and also to many in the international development community who knew and worked with him. His service, dedication and leadership not only strengthened this UN-Habitat’s programme of work, but also left an indelible impact in the lives of people within and beyond UN-Habitat. We all remember how gallantly he always fought for UN-Habitat during the sessions of the Executive Board, especially during the 29 June 2020. UN-Habitat has lost a true friend. May Alioune’s soul rest in eternal peace.

Il nous arrive rarement dans nos vies de croiser un être d’exception, quelqu’un qui vous ouvre de nouvelles portes, nous aide à avancer dans de nouvelles directions et nous entoure de son amitié. Alioune était de ceux-là. L’Afrique, la francophonie et le monde des villes vient de perdre un de ses plus grands représentants. Le monde ne sera plus le même après Alioune Badiane. The world will no longer be the same after Alioune Badiane.
