Jim Grant: Unicef Visionary

Jim Grant: Unicef Visionary by United Nations. paperback edition. ISBN: 9789280637236.

Jim Grant was a visionary leader on a global scale. As Executive Director of UNICEF, the United Nations Childrens Fund, from 1980 to 1995, he launched a world wide child survival and development revolution. The practical result was that by 1995, 25 million children were alive who would otherwise have died. Millions more were living with better health and nutrition. The eight pieces in this volume, all by Jim Grants close colleagues, celebrate this achievement. But much more, they draw out the lessons of Grants vision and leadership-lessons relevant in many other contexts.
