Who wants to be the new UN refugee chief | Rethinking Humanitarianism

from The New Humanitarian

The UN's high commissioner for refugees, Filippo Grandi, finishes his term at the end of the year. As with most top UN roles, picking the next UN refugee chief is far from transparent. What's different this time around? Refugee-led organisations held rare public forums with some of the candidates. Co-organiser Hourie Tafech joins host Tammam Aloudat to talk about the race to lead the UN refugee agency, how to make the selection more transparent, and what refugees want from a new UNHCR boss. Guests:  Hourie Tafech, director for refugee leadership and partnerships at Refugees International Got a question or feedback?
