UNICEF - Child Development and Education

Hello,

Programme Manager, I have 20 years of experience with low income population in Mexico, Central and South America and Africa.

For UNICEF I will be based in Dhaka, Bangladesh in November. My particular responsibility will be to contribute to provide Basic Education to Urban Working Children.

Your knowledge and experience of the country and the region is very useful to identify with you perspectives of efficient and effective collaboration and support to the families of these children.

Thank you very much for your collaboration.
