About the Speaker
Moe Chiba currently serves as the Chief of the Culture Unit at the UNESCO Jakarta Office, covering Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Timor-Leste, a position she has held since 2018.
She began her career with UNESCO Headquarters in 2000, working first in the Division of Creative Industries, and later in the Division of Cultural Policies, where she was involved in the development of a new international convention on the diversity of cultural content and artistic expressions.
In 2006, she moved to the UNESCO New Delhi Office for South Asia, where her focus shifted to the practical integration of culture into development processes. Her work during this period covered a range of areas including heritage-based urban development, rural livelihoods, and the inclusion of persons with disabilities in cultural life.
