Meet the team behind Generation Unlimited

The ambitious goals set for Generation Unlimited requires a lean and flexible team that can harness and coordinate the expertise of multiple partners from around the world. This team brings together a set of professionals with decades of experience of work in field work in all regions of the world in multilateral development agencies, civil society and private sector, including in senior management positions. The team includes capabilities on education, skills, youth engagement, partnership and communication, as well as work with private sector and in innovation related areas.

We are responsible for the overall coordination of the partnership’s activities, relation with the different governance groups, and the Global Board in particular, as well as the support and coordination of Generation Unlimited’s work in countries with the development of country investment agenda. The Global Team is also responsible to make young people’s engagement and participation a concrete reality, as well as all communications, advocacy and engagement work.

The team is expanding to serve this rapidly growing partnership, and we will soon welcome a series fo secondments from partners, including from UK Government, ING, International Chamber of Commerce, SOS Children Village, African Union, and UNESCO.
