Time to say goodbye to Ruwan and Antonio
The beginning of a new year unfortunately means that 2 members of the CE-DAT team are leaving us.
Ruwan Ratnayake came to CRED as a Health and Nutrition Analyst and hit the ground running. During his year at CRED, he put out several country briefs within tight turnaround times and carried out several missions, including one to Amman to investigate and reinforce the collection of health and demographic data for crisis-affected Iraqi populations. Ruwan leaves us to further develop his epidemiological training with the Canadian Field Epidemiology Program (CFEP).
Antonio Zugaldia came to CRED after an internship at the European Commission's Research Directorate-General. As an IT specialist at CRED he spent most of his time playing with data and expanded his horizons working on international humanitarian issues and picking up key elements through the various projects he participated in. He is now moving forward to being a true world citizen, joining the Emergency Operations Center of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in Washington D.C.
Many thanks to both of them for the excellent collaboration!
