Bettina Iseli has been responsible for Welthungerhilfe’s international programme activity in the capacity of director since 2019, before which she headed up the department for institutional donors. In her new role, she will guide the strategic development of global programme activity.
“We are intensifying our focus on regions facing hunger and pronounced poverty, often without attracting much international attention. In addition to providing humanitarian assistance, we aim to make things better in the long term. People are always our priority. The people on location have the best idea of what is urgently needed and what can be done to improve the situation with a lasting impact,” underlines Iseli.
The programme department consists of six desks covering different issues and regions and of programme teams in 37 countries. With this appointment, the executive management of Welthungerhilfe has achieved gender parity.
