SOUTH AFRICA'S PHUMZILE MLAMBO-NGCUKA APPOINTED CHIEF OF UN WOMEN'S
AGENCYNew York, Jul 10 2013 1:00PMSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon has
<"http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2013/sga1423.doc.htm">appointed
Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, a former deputy president of South Africa and
women's advocate, as the new head of the United Nations body tasked
with promoting women's rights and their full participation in global
affairs.

Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka replaces Michelle Bachelet, a former president of
Chile who served as the first Executive Director of the UN Entity for
Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women (UN Women). Ms. Bachelet
stepped down a few months ago.

"The Secretary-General expressed his gratitude for the outgoing
Executive Director's commitment in spearheading the Organization's
work on gender equality and the empowerment of women at the global,
regional and country level," stated the announcement of the
appointment.

It went on to say that Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka brings to her new position a
wealth of experience in advocating for women's issues "with a
combination of strategic leadership, consensus building and hands-on
management experience."

She was the first woman to hold the position of Deputy President of
South Africa from 2005 to 2008, and has also served as Deputy Minister
in the Department of Trade and Industry, Minister of Minerals and
Energy, and briefly as acting Minister of Arts, Culture, Science and
Technology.

Among her many activities, Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka established Umlambo
Foundation in 2008 to provide support to schools in impoverished areas
in South Africa through mentorship and coaching for teachers and in
Malawi through school improvements with local partners.

UN Women was established in July 2010 by a unanimous vote of the
General Assembly to oversee all of the world body's programmes aimed
at promoting women's rights. It is tasked with helping Member States
implement standards, providing technical and financial support to
countries which request it, and forging partnerships with civil
society.

Within the UN, it holds the world body accountable for its own
commitments on gender equality.Jul 10 2013 1:00PM
