Reflections on a United Nations' Career : An Insider's Account Hardback
by Ian Howie
Part of the Springer Biographies series
Hardback
Description
This book is more than an autobiographical account of the career of a young graduate from Australia who spent his life working as a United Nations official.
It is in fact, a critical, indispensable debriefing of a UN insider’s account as it follows the life of a development practitioner for more than three decades within the global aid sector. It also goes where few others have dared to go before, providing first-hand insights into the realities of a UN career official’s life.
While many throughout the world may wish to join the “UN family” or have already become part of the development sector, it is presumed they all have a vision to act as vehicles for positive social change.
However, expectations can and may differ once realities have sunk in.
The book opens a unique space in the international aid sector – particularly, population security – around elements of personal and professional rewards and costs.
