MESSAGE FROM THE UNDP/UNFPA/UNOPS STAFF COUNCIL IN RESPONSE TO THE TRAGEDY IN ALGIERS
Dear Colleagues,
As you all know, quite a number of fellow staff members, friends and colleagues have died and several of them have been injured in the tragic bombing of the UN compound in Algeria. We are giving absolute priority to helping the families of the colleagues we have lost and those injured.
In close cooperation with the UNDP/UNFPA/UNOPS Staff Council an effort through an appeal for assistance is underway for collecting voluntary donations to complement the institutional contribution that is being made. To facilitate the donations the following procedures have been put in place:
For direct donations in cash at NY Headquarters, donation boxes will also be placed at the Regional Bureau for Arab States (DC1-22 floor), and at the entrance of the UNDP Cafeteria (DC1 the 3rd Floor) daily from 9:30-10:30 am and 12:30-2:30 pm starting Monday, 17 December.
