Dismantling stigma and breaking the glass ceiling
Meet Gift Govere, a UN Volunteer Project Officer serving through the UNDP/UNV Talent Programme for Young Professionals with Disabilities in Zimbabwe. Gift shares how the UN Development Programme (UNDP) has provided an inclusive environment in which he can participate and make a meaningful contribution.
When I got the opportunity at UNDP in 2019, I was working at the university as a teaching assistant. I thought UNDP would give me a chance to grow and also contribute to everything that I wanted to do in society. I was already interested in inclusive development, inclusive governance, social justice, climate change, and I wanted to play a part in addressing social inequalities.
