I am off to my another field mission on Monday. Seems like I am on a field trip once a month these days. Only this time I will be stationary in one city (probably one of the hottest…), as I am coordinating a workshop (protection of vulnerable people in emergency situations) for four days. It is a joint training with two other UN agencies and one national NGO. My colleague who is normally in charge of the humanitarian work is on leave, so I am pitching in, as I am a GBV focal person, which is one of the major components of protection. I have been working on a budget, checking participants list, reviewing the materials and following up with trainers. All the senior managers are super busy and unavailable, so I am going on my own with the secretary of my unit. Wish me good luck that this will go smoothly.
This week I was having lunch with one of my bosses at the office. She said she was told when she started with the organization that it will never slow down. I was initially told almost to re-consider coming and starting the job in December, because it would be very busy. But, since then I have been waiting for some kind of down time, which has not really come…
I wrote the other day about how clueless I am about the emergency work, but since then I completed a short online course, and I am trying my best to learn and I am a tiny bit more comfortable. I think the opportunity to sit through this training (for government counterparts) will be another good learning.
I will report on it when I come back!
