Ms Susan Namondo Ngongi, the current United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Country Representative, is also serving as ad interim United Nations Resident Coordinator for Ghana.
This follows the departure of Ms Ruby Sandhu-Rojon last week to take up a new appointment as the Deputy Regional Director of United Nations Development Programme Regional Bureau for Africa.
A statement issued by Ms Cynthia Prah, National Information Officer of the United Nations Information Centre in Accra and copied to the Ghana News Agency on Monday, said prior to her coming to Ghana, Ms Ngongi had worked with UNICEF across Africa spanning over a decade.
Ms Ngongi started her UNICEF career in the year 2000 as an emergencies specialist in Sudan before moving into a co-ordination role with UNICEF’s regional office for Eastern and Southern Africa and UNICEF Headquarters in New York.
She supported programme development, monitoring and evaluation as Deputy Representative in Liberia in 2008.
She then moved to the Comoros as Representative in 2010, and three years later she took the post of UNICEF Representative in Ghana.
Ms Ngongi would serve as UN Resident Coordinator ad interim until a new Resident Coordinator is named.
Ms Ngongi is a Cameroonian. She has a Masters in Public Administration from Columbia University, United States and a Masters in Animal Health from the University of Reading, United Kingdom.
