I am humbled to have the opportunity to work on the first comprehensive mapping of all UN projects in the country, complete with a scalable online map (if I can figure out the tech and sort the data). This will help visualize where there is overlap or gaps in project funding across UN agencies in order to analyze and then strive to harmonize and make future aid more effective. From this mapping illustration, there will be a clearer picture for me to help develop a new Resource Mobilization Strategy to work in alignment with the new UN Development Assistance Framework for the Maldives looking to 2016-2020. It sounds ambitious for a 6-month stint. It is, and I'm going to be rather busy....
Bags are packed and weighed. I have an invitation letter handy to present at customs. I spent way too much money on some US currency (bad timing!). My remaining belongings are in storage and files in order. I've enjoyed some of my favorite foods that may be tricky to source, thanks to mom! And I've started booking apartment viewings for the day after I land. All set. Even though I've done this a few times before, I'm sure I've forgotten something! And I'm sure it will be fine.
