Pros: I enjoyed working with UNHCR because it helps bring out the best in me, build me up to be what i am now today, i learnt a lot even things that are not related to my field. They allow you share that potential you have in you, allow you bring suggestions and they will want to listen to your opinion to see if it will be of benefit in order to move forward in achieving goals or reaching targets in every work most especially field work. I love the cooperation. It is a privilege to work and be part of UNHCR.
