UNOPS chief resigns amid probe into agency's questionable loans
The embattled head of the United Nations Office for Project Services has resigned as details of possible financial mismanagement under her leadership were brought to light by Devex and The New York Times in recent weeks.
Grete Faremo, who took over as the executive director of the agency in 2014, said she told U.N. Secretary-General AntĂłnio Guterres on Friday that she would step down immediately.
