Who worked on this, origin of the project

Mala Kumar (at the time, as an independent consultant), UN-Globe, Fordham Law School

Keywords

UN, UnitedNations, staff, LGBTQI, SOGIE, support, crowdsourcing, job, post, country

Budget or other funding available (if any)

None. A few development agencies were interested in the concept, but ultimately left it to the UN to fund since it was for internal purposes. If the scope were expanded, corporations with global offices might be interested. We decided not to expand the scope due to the complex nature of UN human resources, and we did not secure funding sources.

Existing people, teams or orgs that can provide support or are currently engaged on the project

No one is currently involved. Mala is available to speak with anyone interested in reprising the work, though she may not be able to commit any time or resources.
