The African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) held the second one-day job fair for its Sudanese staff; for them to explore potential future job opportunities in the wake of the ongoing streamlining process for the Mission.

The event, which was held under the theme “Sharing Our Talent, Building Your Future,” took place at the Mission’s headquarters in El Fasher, North Darfur.

14 job providers, including Sudanese companies, organizations and industries as well as international companies and UN agencies, participated in the event.

Welcoming the participants, UNAMID’s Deputy Director of Mission Support, Anthony Nweke, expressed his hope that the fair would be the beginning of a continuous close partnership between UNAMID and employers in a collective effort to explore future job opportunities for our colleagues.

“The presence of this diverse range of businesses and industries here today is but an example of the many future job opportunities available to you in Sudan,” said Mr. Nweke while addressing Sudanese colleagues. 

Mr. Nweke praised the skills, talents and experiences which our national staff have acquired in the Mission to participating enterprises. 

“I hope that today’s event will give you an opportunity to tap into the substantial range of professional talent that we have amongst us at UNAMID,” stated Mr. Nweke. “These are highly skilled professionals who have consolidated their competencies and experience while working in this multinational organization. They represent a rare pool of talent—a well-trained and culturally diverse manpower whose contribution would make a positive difference to your respective organizations,” he added.

The Mission’s first job fair was held on 4 March 2015 and had brought together more than 25 job providers.
