The Insider Arc™ — Geneva Field Guide
This is not a travel guide. It was written for someone arriving in Geneva with a work contract and a family, not a weekend bag.
The Geneva Field Guide is insider intelligence for international development professionals arriving at WHO, UNAIDS, ILO, WFP, The Global Fund, and the forty-plus other organisations that call Geneva home. Five layers from landing to leaving — the neighbourhoods, the housing market, the agency culture, the career decisions, and the financial choices that compound across an international life.
Written by someone who arrived at The Global Fund in January 2015 with a pregnant wife, no contacts, and the wrong information. Every mistake this guide documents, I made first.
