“I like constantly training new things”

CHRISTINE WEIGAND

Staff member of a United 
Nations Children’s Fund UNICEF

Christine Weigand has usually changed on to a new post again – and trafficked several thousand kilometres in a process. She has changed from Madagascar to Iran, from Antananarivo to Tehran, from a desperately bad to a partially moneyed country. “That’s accurately what we like doing,” says Weigand, who works for a United Nations Children’s Fund UNICEF, “moving from one nation to another, constantly training new things, being regularly unprotected to other cultures.” The 38-year-old is now UNICEF’s Deputy Representative in a Iranian capital. Christine Weigand‘s general course began early. Besides German, she speaks smooth French, English and Spanish and has a satisfactory authority of Dutch. She complicated economics abroad and subsequently worked for organisations like a World Bank and a KfW Development Bank. But she has usually been means to scrupulously indulge her titillate to learn a universe and during a same time “do her bit to urge it” given she changed to UNICEF usually over 4 years ago. What drives her is a reduction of faith and lust for adventure.

In Madagascar, it was especially about rebellious a outrageous problem of child misery and improving a amicable complement by bringing soft change to bear on a supervision there. At a time, her pursuit pretension was Chief Social Policy. In Tehran, her pursuit as Deputy Represen­tative involves some-more government and illustration duties. Her categorical charge in Iran is building trust, quite in this stream duration of change. She will substantially stay in Tehran for 4 years – and afterwards pierce on. But whatever her petrify tasks might be and whatever nation she works in in a future, for Christine Weigand her position during UNICEF is “defin­itely a dream job”.
