This information just in from the Governor's Office on Montserrat regarding the local DFID Representative on the island.
The Governor’s Office today, Wednesday April 26th, 2017, announced that after almost three years on Montserrat, Martin Dawson, DFID Resident Representative, will be leaving the island in August 2017. Dawson has been asked by DFID to take up the senior post of Deputy Head of DFID’s Office in Kabul Afghanistan.
Martin, speaking of the new opportunity presented stated:
“I am very pleased to have been offered this opportunity by DFID and to return to a country which I first worked in 10 years ago and know well. I have thoroughly enjoyed working and living in Montserrat and the experience I have gained over the last three years. I have worked tirelessly with the Government of Montserrat and strongly believe, through partnership, we have made some real progress. I wish everyone the very best and hope I will get the opportunity to return one day and see the fruits of our labours. I shall miss the people I have worked and socialised with.”
Martin’s successor will be a lady who is well known on island, in the person of Moira Marshall. She has been the DFID lead on Financial Aid Missions (FAM) to the island in recent times. Marshall will take up her post at the beginning of August 2017 accompanied by her husband, David.
