Greycells - Former International Civil Servants for Development

A group of retired international civil servants formed this association through where they can make their experience and expertise available to future generations. This also applies to former officials of diplomatic missions and of non-governmental organizations. With a view to putting this experience and expertise at the service of the community in general, and the international community in Gene

va in particular, GREYCELLS – Association of Former International Civil Servants for Development – has been created in Geneva on 17 January 2008. The goals of the Association are as follows:

to assist the efforts of the international community in favour of development in developing countries, particularly the least developed countries, inter alia by supporting their representatives in the framework of international Geneva;

to identify and, where necessary, contact potential donors and put them in touch with sponsors of projects that are in keeping with the present Statute;

to provide assistance on request. Such assistance is entirely unofficial: it is based on experience, and carried out in cooperation with local public and private institutions. The Association focuses on activities designed to achieve such goals through counselling, mediation, presentations, guidance, information and, where necessary, training.
