BELFAST, Northern Ireland — More female and global south leadership at the organizational and program levels is among the top priorities for CARE International’s new secretary-general, Sofia Sprechmann Sineiro.
“I'm totally committed to voices from the global south in the organization, in our programs, and gender equality. These are CARE’s priorities and my priorities as well,” said Sprechmann Sineiro, who has held various roles within the organization for the past 25 years and took over from interim Secretary-General Lindsay Glassco on June 1.
The Uruguayan national is the third secretary-general of the humanitarian organization in as many years.
