Hello, May I ask who is the current Ombudsman of IFRC? Thank you in advance for response.
ReplyDeleteThere was never a public announcement. And, IFRC is like many international nongovernmental organizations and keeps its Ombuds webpage on an intranet. (Perhaps this is because the Ombuds serves only internal stakeholders and does not want to be overwhelmed by public complaints.) So I was never aware of the appointment. I did a little digging and found that Judit Revesz was appointed in August 2019. I wish people would let me know when they get hired.
DeleteThank you Tom for this information.
