      UN Country Office varies completely on who the director is

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of autonomy given to country offices in the UN system, excellent opportunity to work with government toward impact at scale.

      Cons

      Highly political. Often the appearance of delivering results (i.e. spending down the budget) is more important than the results themselves.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Challenging job and opportunity to do a lot.

      Cons

      Actions resulted from a politically correct decision don't usually solve problem. Most people are benefit oriented (what is it for me) rather work or solution oriented.
