Ms. Edna dos Santos-Duisenberg, chief of UNCTAD's Creative Economy Programme, who headed and managed the programme since 2004, one of the very first organizational structures inside and outside the United Nations devoted to creative industry and economy, has retired from the United Nations beginning of July upon reaching mandatory retirement age after 29 years of service. The UNCTAD Secretariat wishes her well in her future career.
