Charlotte Petri Gornitzka Moving to Swedish Agency for Civil Contingencies (corrected headline) / Karin Hulshof ad interim DED Partnerships
Dear Colleagues,
I have bittersweet news to share with you.
The Swedish Government has appointed Charlotte Petri Gornitzka, our Deputy Executive Director for Partnerships, as the new Director-General for the Swedish Agency for Civil Contingencies (MSB). Recent events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, climate-related extreme weather events, cyber security threats, and disinformation have made the mandate of this Agency more important than ever before, including in international humanitarian interventions, resilience-building operations and civilian crisis management.
We are very sad to see Charlotte leaving UNICEF after three years, during which she has helped to sharpen and deepen our focus on partnerships and successfully led our exceptional resource mobilization and communication efforts. Charlotte also continues to be the brain and engine behind preparations for the Global Forum for Children and Youth (CY21) which will take place from 7 to 9 December, and I am pleased to let you know that Charlotte will stay at UNICEF through the event, as she will take up her new position on 10 December.
I have requested our former colleague Karin Hulshof to serve as the ad interim Deputy Executive Director for Partnerships until the appointment of the new Deputy Executive Director.
Best regards
Henrietta H. Fore
Executive Director

The heading is misleading in that MSB is Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), whereas SIDA is the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. It is MSB to which Charlotte Petri Gornitzka has been appointed Director General.
