“I don’t forget my origins,” said Drogba. “I have been given opportunities to succeed in life, but I constantly think about the ones who did not have this chance. We all need to contribute to help defeat poverty.” Drogba will work with UNDP to spur action at all levels of society in pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals, with a particular focus on Africa.
“We’re very pleased to have Didier on our side, working to help countries reach the MDGs,” said UNDP Administrator Kemal Derviş. “Greater recognition of the wide range of serious challenges we face in Africa and around the world is an important part of meeting those challenges—and Didier will offer tremendous help in raising awareness.” The other UNDP Goodwill Ambassadors are soccer legends Ronaldo and Zinédine Zidane, South African Nobel Prize winner Nadine Gordimer, Japanese actress Misako Kono and Crown Prince Haakon Magnus of Norway.
Drogba has previously collaborated with several charities and organisations and has long been active in mobilizing support for the eradication of poverty. He has also participated in several HIV/AIDS campaigns, and will continue to focus on this issue--and its implications for human rights and women’s empowerment.
“Gender equality must be promoted, and women and girls are at a special risk. Male attitudes and behaviour need to change, and as a man and a role model for many young boys in Africa I will do my best to promote the right messages to other men and boys to stop the pandemic,” said Drogba. He will also support UNDP’s work in conflict prevention and recovery.
Didier Drogba received his credentials as Goodwill Ambassador by the Director of the UNDP Office in Geneva, Ms Odile Sorgho-Moulinier on behalf of the Administrator of UNDP.
Born in Abidjan in1978, Drogba spent his childhood in his native Côte d'Ivoire and his adopted country, France. He led Côte d'Ivoire to its first-ever World Cup final in 2006, and currently plays for Chelsea F.C. of the English Premier League.

Asamoah Gyan Picture plars
Asamoah Gyan is looking forward to playing in front of Sunderland's "incredible fans" after he completed a club-record transfer to the Stadium of Light.
The 24-year-old has penned a four-year deal after the Black Cats paid a fee in excess of £13m to bring the striker to Wearside.
Gyan, who has scored 22 goals in 44 games for Ghana, completed his protracted move with just 15 minutes to spare before the 6pm transfer deadline.
Now he can't wait to get started and repay the faith manager Steve Bruce has shown in him.
In a world exclusive interview, Gyan said: "It's been a long day, but finally I'm happy to be here and my family and friends are also happy for me.

He said: "I follow English football and I know Sunderland have incredible fans.
"I especially know about the derby when they play against Newcastle. That is something incredible. I have witnessed that myself.
"The Sunderland fans never say die. They keep cheering their team on for 90 minutes. That gives me confidence to play maximum football.
I am here to do my best and show what I can do. I have watched Sunderland play before - I think it will be good."
