From 1st January 2018, the Joint Secretariat will be led by a person well known to the NPA community, Ms Kirsti Mijnhijmer, who currently holds the position as Programme Manager for Information and Communication. She is replacing Ole Damsgaard, who will leave the programme by the end of the year.

Kirsti Mijnhijmer has been with the NPA programme since 2008 and she has led several major projects over the years, such as writing the NPA 2014-2020 Cooperation Programme document and the implementation of the electronic monitoring system, eMS.
