- Bio
- My name is Zazie Schafer. I am an economist and Arabist by training (although the latter 'skill' has unfortunately been neglected over the years). I have worked for the UN for more than 12 years, in the field and Headquarters. I currently work in the Office of the UN Secretary-General where I am a member of a small team tasked with setting up the Global Impact and Vulnerability Alert System (in short GIVAS). GIVAS is intended to bridge the information gap between when a global crisis -- such as the economic crisis -- hits vulnerable populations and when we have the information to respond. It's ambitious and challenging but definitely exciting. And it needs inputs from lots of creative minds who we hope to hook up with at Crisis Mapping 2009.
