Ambassador Dr. Mounir Zahran, ECFA Executive Director, H.E. Ambassador Dr. Ezzat Saad, and ECFA Board Member, Dr. Osama El-Ghazaly Harb.

The aims of the meeting were for the Delegation to introduce career and field job opportunities available at the United Nations Offices in various regions and in different disciplines, and to explore ways of enhancing cooperation and coordination with ECFA to serve as a link with other research centres, Egypt Civil Society Organizations and ECFA’s partners in the Arab World. This, in turn, will publicize those career opportunities, shed light on how to apply for available job vacancies and help move beyond different stages of job application.
