The new UN Resident Coordinator and Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Republic of Maldives, Tony E. Lisle, has today officially begun his tour of duty in the country.
Lisle’s main task will be to oversee national development programs by collaborating with the various UN agencies operating in the country, a spokesperson for the organisation told Minivan News today.
The new resident coordinator, who has been serving within the UN since 1996, previously held the position of Country Director for UNAIDS in Vietnam.
Lisle’s mandate as resident coordinator is expected to last for between four to five years, according to the organisation.
Lisle replaces former UN Resident Coordinator Andrew Cox, who completed his tour of duty back in January of this year.
