Owusu who hails from Ghana will reportedly also serve as the world
body’s resident coordinator, humanitarian coordinator, and resident
representative of the UN Development Programme (UNDP).
The Ghanaian will succeed Toby Lanzer, who is due to take up the new
post of regional humanitarian coordinator for the Sahel region.
“The secretary-general is grateful for Mr. Lanzer’s dedicated service
with the United Nations in the Republic of South Sudan,” said Ki-moon.
The Ghanaian reportedly brings to his new position extensive
experience in international development and humanitarian affairs.
Currently, Owusu is the UN resident coordinator, humanitarian
coordinator and resident representative of UNDP in the Federal
Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, a position held since August 2010.
Before joining the UN, Owusu who holds a doctorate degree in
Agricultural Economics from the United States, reportedly worked for
the private sector in the United Kingdom.
