Rationale/Objective for Position
- The role of the Regional Intersectional Mentoring and Coaching Officer is to develop actions to support the professional development of MSF staff, to foster and capitalize on synergies between MSF entities and intersectional HR units, etc.) while effectively and sustainably implementing the Mentoring & Coaching (M&C) offer in MSF operations.
