REPORT
The Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005 requires the Chair, in making nominations, to use his or her best endeavours “to ensure that the Commissioners shall be a diverse and balanced group of people in terms of gender, age, experience and skills, who share a commitment to the promotion of the objects of the Commission”. In meeting that statutory requirement, non-States Commissioners with a range of backgrounds and professional qualifications were appointed when the Commission was first established.
Ms. Morel has served as non-States Commissioner since March 2019 in accordance with the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005.
The present States Commissioners are, in addition to Deputy C.F. Labey of Grouville as Chair – Connétable P Le Sueur of Trinity and Deputy J.A. Martin of St. Helier ; and the non-States Commissioners are Mr A. Calvert and Mr. D. Melville .
Therese Morel was born and educated in Jersey, and after University embarked on a 35- year career in aid and development, including almost three decades spent with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Therese has comprehensive knowledge of the humanitarian system both at the policy and operational levels, and extensive experience working on complex multi-sectoral operations in conflict and humanitarian setting, including emergencies, in partnership with UN agencies and non-government organizations. Her most recent positions with UNHCR were at Country Representative and Director level, the last being Director of Human Resources for a global workforce of some 16,000 people.
The Non-States Commissioners all serve in an honorary capacity and give many hours of their time freely to assist the work of the Commission. We would like to thank Ms. Morel for agreeing to continue to offer her considerable expertise to the Commission for a further term.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this proposition.
