Bio
Stefano Pili
Veronica is a sunny and positive person with a strong passion for African issues, especially related to the Horn of Africa context. We spent together five months at the Dalarna University in Falun (Sweden) studying African studies and I had the opportunity to appreciate her energy, her availability and her knowledges on Eastern Africa Coutries. Thanks to her many great experiences of studying and working abroad, she fits perfectly positions of Program Manager and Administrative Assistant in NGOs and any other actor operating in the International Cooperation field.
