The 2021 Global Call Campaign
The Secretary-General's Global Call for nominations for the pool of Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) and Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General (DSRSG) in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations and Special Political Missions is an outreach initiative conducted by the United Nations Headquarters.
The Global Call aims to expand the pool of potential candidates for civilian senior leadership positions in the field, with a view of advancing gender parity and geographical diversity at the most senior level.
The campaign is open for nominations/applications until 10 December 2021. It is open to Member States, Organizations and individuals.
Candidates who meet the minimum requirements will, following an internal review process, be included in the SRSG/DSRSG pool of potential senior candidates.
Only those found suitable for specific posts, as and when vacancies arise, will be invited to participate in a competitive selection process.
