Generation Unlimited Team (old)
Meet the team behind Generation Unlimited
The ambitious goals set for Generation Unlimited require 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 fieldwork 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 the 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 the 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 of secondments from partners, including from the UK Government, ING, International Chamber of Commerce, SOS Children Village, African Union, and UNESCO.
