Hello Everyone,
I have just joined the Gambia-L list, for a
specific purpose. I am an executive search consultant, currently engaged
on an assignment for a consulting firm based in London. We have an
opportunity for a trained economist to go to The Gambia for two years to
conduct studies, produce reports and advise on public services
and issues such as gender, poverty and health.
The skills required include a postgraduate
economics qualification together with practical experience of working in Africa,
and ideally The Gambia itself. The conditions of employment are very good,
the consulting firm operates a good collegiate, collaborative style of work,
and the project promises to be very rewarding. We expect that the
best person for us may not possess a UK work permit, and we're prepared to deal
with that issue on merit.
I have only recently begun to read and learn about
The Gambia, and indeed this list, and it has been very stimulating. I look
forward to learning more.
Kind Regards,
Ian Boyd-Livingston.
