Recent Developments<br />

The Hague<br />

On the 1st August 2011 the regional office relocated from<br />

Geneva to The Hague, The Netherlands. The new Africa,<br />

Europe, Middle East (AEM) Global Centre houses the<br />

second of the permanent global centre offices to open<br />

and is home to the academic division as well as global<br />

communications, global human resources, global<br />

strategy planning, global language services and the<br />

global project management office and of course the<br />

regional office, which is located on the same floor as the<br />

academic division. The co-location gives great<br />

opportunity for even more collaboration between staff.<br />

This was a major project and is part of the continuing<br />

effort to improve service to schools and educators, which<br />

is the prime consideration. The relocation gave the<br />

regional office the opportunity to further develop<br />

documentation, processes and systems that will help<br />

ensure they remain close to the schools in the region and<br />

meet their needs now and in the future.<br />
