March is International Francophonie Month!

French is one of the official working languages of the United Nations, and being proficient in this language is an asset for the development of your career as an international civil servant.

As part of the francophonie celebrations taking place this month, staff members are invited to participate in the United Nations annual "French Creative Writing Contest". This year’s theme is “I love, I share… Peace”, based on the 2017 slogan of the International Organisation of Francophonie (IOF).

Achieving gender parity is a key element of the Secretary-General's vision for the UN System.

"What we need is to have both competent women and competent men with equal opportunities in the Organization”, said Secretary-General António Guterres at the 61st session of the Commission on the Status of Women in New York (see video below).

The Commission on the Status of Women (SCW) presented a unique opportunity to scout for female talent and to showcase the United Nations commitment to 50/50 gender parity within its workforce.
