UN Zambia Staff, Family and Friends Hold Awareness Walk to Celebrate UN Day

As part of the 77th UN Day commemoration, UN Zambia Resident Coordinator Ms Beatrice Mutali, with Heads of Agencies, on 29 October led 550 staff, family members and friends on a 3.9 kilometres Awareness Walk in Lusaka to share information about the work of the United Nations. The walk was also meant to promote Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 3 of Good Health and Wellbeing.

The walk, which the Resident Coordinator flagged off from the UN House, terminated at East Park Mall where free public health checks were provided by a team of UN medical personnel and partner institutions as well as a UN Job Fair by the UN Zambia Human Resource Technical Working Group. Hundreds of members of the public, including youth, had the opportunity to learn about how to apply for jobs and volunteering opportunities in the UN, both at home and abroad. Human Resource officers from several UN agencies emphasized that the UN is an equal opportunity employer and that it does not charge any fees during the recruitment process.

Members of the public are invited to East Park mall and have one on one discussions with members of the human resource team who will be discussing how to apply for jobs in the United Nations. There will also be free health checks conducted by UN medical team and its partners.

The United Nations in Zambia remains committed to supporting Zambia’s development aspirations, leaving no one behind.
