UNICEF Madagascar Country Office (CO) is at a reflection phase where the current Country Programme Document (CPD) is ending and the new one under preparation. Moreover, an evaluation of the past CPD is being carried out to give a clear picture of where the CO is in relation to the objectives that have been set, in relation to how the results have been attainted and how the staff has contributed to these results. The findings of this evaluation, with the preparation of the new CPD will have implications with the staff capacity to face and adapt to change and respond effectively whether it is fit for purpose.
The Country Management Team (CMT) is committed to a range of Management Excellence initiatives including nurturing and caring for staff.
