In staff engagement surveys, staff raised concerns that innovation and agility skills were not developed, implemented, or sufficiently supported in the UN. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic presented an opportunity to fast-track agile...| Nações Unidas

That choice gave birth to the United Nations – not as a dream for perfection, but as a practical strategy for the survival of humanity … No matter the challenge. No matter the obstacle.
