HR

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. 

Assistant Secretary-General Carole Wainaina, Chief of the Office of Human Resources Management (OHRM), recently visited Nairobi to familiarize herself with the duty station. She met with the UNON Director General Ms. Sahle-Work Zewde, and the Executive Directors of UN-Habitat and UNEP. She also held a dialogue with staff. She met with the Staff Representatives, UN Disputes Tribunal (UNDT) and Human Resources(HR) Community.
