Global Mediation Panel

28.05.2020

As part of the efforts to improve the ways of responding to grievances, the Office of the Ombudsman for United Nations Funds and Programmes is increasing the capacity for mediation services. As part of this enhanced capacity, by the Office of the Ombudsman was developed a Global Mediation Panel consisting of external mediators approved by the Office of the Ombudsman who will mediate workplace disputes involving the five UN organizations (UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNOPS and UN-Women) as they occur.

 

Our team is extremely pleased to announced you, that the managing partner of J&T Consulting, Giorgi Tsertsvadze was selected as the mediator of the Global Mediation panel.

The mediators of the Global Mediation Panel have been selected by the Office of the Ombudsman for United Nations Funds and Programmes taking into account their qualifications, proven mediation experience and background, and long-standing connection with the most reputable international mediation networks. Global mediation panel brings together 35 experienced mediators from different countries of the world.

This strengthened capacity will allow staff of the five UN organizations (UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNOPS and UN-Women) to raise concerns and issues informally to a confidential, independent body (the Office of the Ombudsman) and have these issues addressed in a faster, less intrusive way than a formal investigation process.
