Different types of delegates are required to have different skills, however, certain requirements are essential for all potential delegates:

  • They must be adaptable, flexible and have sound judgment.
  • They should possess initiative, diplomacy, cultural sensitivity and have the ability to live and work in a team, usually under arduous and sometimes dangerous conditions.
  • Sound mental and physical health is essential.

Contracts range from one month to 2 years plus in length depending on the role. Delegates can also be accompanied depending on the position, country and length of contract.
