Angst

During the M2-Copenhagen meeting, Carol told us about the old “UNICEF Angst”. The Angst, whether UNICEF will continue to exist beyond the next Board meeting. 

The Angst is still with us during the trying times of UN reform. We fear for UNICEF, as the organisation is going to be sucked into the maelstrom of the resident co-ordinator system, UNDAF results matrices, joint programming, and the pooling of resources. 

What exactly do we fear for?

There might be some who have to fear for their job. But I think that those who are serious about our work do not need to have Angst other than the Angst for children.
