Current Opportunity
We are looking for talented individuals to work with us in the Office of Deputy Director-General (ODDG) to Review of the implementation

not exceed a set percentage of its core budget. OED supports both activities financed out of its core budget as well as activities financed
using earmarked funds that are provided to fund specific activities. In order to achieve this mandate, OED has set for itself the goal of
delivering more for less by enhancing economy, efficiency and effectiveness in its delivery of administration and support services.
