Reliefweb jobs added to the UN Job List
If you don’t know Reliefweb I suggest you take a moment, head over to their page and check them out: ReliefWeb is a great resource for everything humanitarian. Aside from maps, reports and a whole universe of other resources ReliefWeb carries a lot of humanitarian jobs. And as of today the UN Job List will start listing an increasing number of these jobs, too. Since there are many more NGOs and other organisations on ReliefWeb, this is how it works:
- Over the next days I will add UN organisations from ReliefWeb
- All jobs from Reliefweb will be marked (via Reliefweb) so you can easily distinguish them from the regular vacancies
- Since some organisations upload their regular jobs via their own vacancy page and then one more time on Reliefweb, there may be duplicates. Please excuse this inconvenience
Note, that ReliefWeb carries a lot of jobs also from NGOs and other non-UN organisations. The UN Job List focusses on UN Jobs only and thus there will be only ReliefWeb vacancies from UN organisations listed on the UN Job List
Please let me know in the comments what you think of this addition and if you have any other suggestions on how to improve the UN Job List.
PS: Are you interested in getting selected vacancies in a weekly job alert per mail? It’s easy, first, search what you need, then sign-up: http://unjoblist.org/lists/advancedsearch/

World Malaria Day
On any regular post you see the Little Peacekeeper working, traveling or enjoying his spare time and he is always awake. On this photo you see him sleeping and aside from his soft pillow and the cool blanket you will notice the mosquito net. The net of course is to protect the Little Peacekeeper from Malaria. So you don’t need to worry about him, he is safe. But there are still many Malaria affected people out there, so if you are in the US, help Nothing But Nets http://www.nothingbutnets.net/ – a UN Foundation powered initiative to help in the fight against Malaria.
Farewell Bangkok
The Little Peacekeeper has finished his stay in Bangkok and is ready to move to his next destination. A few more Bangkok impressions are in the pictures attached. Did you know that the UN Economics and Social Commission for the Asia and the Pacific is located in Bangkok? Find out more: http://www.unescap.org/
Earth Day
Happy Earth Day everyone! The Little Peacekeeper saved this picture from Brazil for Earth Day. He was hiking and found this nice rock. When we sat down to rest and looked around he found a lizard resting right next to him in the sun. It made him reflect about that we should celebrate and protect what we have in our earth. More info is over that the UN’s Mother Earth Day site: http://www.un.org/en/events/motherearthday/
In Bangkok
The Little Peacekeeper’s next travel brings him to Bangkok. He is really impressed by the friendly people, the busy streets and that in all this liveliness there are places of calm and contemplation.
Cherry Blossom
Just before heading off to Bangkok, the Little Peacekeeper is exploring the cherry blossom. You can see him climbing a tree in Washington DC.
Experimental farming in DRC
While being in DRC the Little Peacekeeper is looking at an innovative farming project. And rising food prices are a concern these days so have a look at their development at FAO’s food price index: http://www.fao.org/worldfoodsituation/wfs-home/foodpricesindex/en/
