After a 35 years-long amazing journey with thousands of friends and colleagues from all over the world, here are my three advices: 1. Follow your passion and be an activist (in my case, an EvalActivist); 2. Empower yourself; 3. Be united in diversity!
After his 9 years of visionary leadership, we bid farewell to our Director @msegone.
From New York to our new home in Nairobi, Marco guided the IEO with a strong commitment, shaping the future of evaluation at UNFPA.
Thank you Marco!

UNRWA international staff and humanitarian aid continue to be denied entry into #Gaza.
Food, hygiene kits, tents, and other supplies are desperately needed.
A #ceasefire alone is not enough.
Around 12,000 of our staff continue to deliver healthcare, psychosocial support, and education to the people, often under unimaginable conditions.
They are the backbone of the UN's humanitarian response.
