Children most vulnerable - UNICEF chief

Mmegi: When did you start working for UN?
Lone: It was in 1991. I started in New York at the headquarters.
Mmegi: What was your brief when you started at UNICEF?
Lone: Yeah. Most of my work had to do with publications. I was an editor of UNICEF's State of the World's Children Report, an annual publication. It is what UNICEF would call a flagship publication.

Mmegi: Before UNICEF what was your occupation?
Lone: I was a journalist in Kenya, at Viva Magazine.
Mmegi: So you grew up in Kenya?
Lone: No, in the United States (US). My husband is Kenyan.  We met in the US whilst we were students in New York. We later got married and came to stay in Kenya.
Mmegi: What has been your brief as a regional communications adviser?
Lone: I specialise in issues affecting children, editing material and conducting training workshops. My job is about advising on how to get the message across to different UN audiences.
Mmegi: Would you say the agency's intervention has made better the lives of children globally?
