Hi,

HERE BELOW, you find my ‘online presence’ – the  .info site.
Please choose from the menu line (above): ABOUT ME,  ACHIEVEMENTS … etc. to learn more about me.

However, since I have several websites, maybe this website was not the one you were looking for.

If this is not the one, you were most likely looking for www.jesperfrovinjensen.com – where you can find my blog, a kind of online magazine with some of the subjects I think are important… and much more. Just click HERE and you will be taken to my blog. Please go and check it out!!!

Finally, if you are a ‘foodie’, you might have searched for my food website – click HERE, and you’ll get to my mouth-watering Paradise right away.
(Both links will open in a new window!)

Testimonials

“…I have had the pleasure of working with Jesper while we were both assigned to UN in the Northern part of Sri Lanka, immediately after the cessation of violence. Jesper was always fully prepared both for chairing as well as attending meetings. All information dissipated from Jesper was 100 percent correct. Jesper is one of the best Humanitarian Officers I have ever had the pleasure of working with.”

Mads Vejlstrup,
Logistics Officer, WFP

Birgitte Quist-Sørensen,

 “…Jesper Frovin is very hard worker, and during the time he was with OCHA in Northern Sri Lanka he took his work very seriously. He was always helpful and assisted organisations and individuals whenever he could and when it was required.
Jesper always made sure that he knew what was happening and where urgent requirements existed. He planned ahead and was always ready for the unexpected.”

Kallie Calitz,
Mine Action Technical Advisor, UNDP

 “…I worked with Jesper Frovin Jensen when he was director of Swedish Comittee for Afghanistan. He was also an active member of ACBAR’s Steering Commitee. I got to know him as an dedicated activist for the interests of Civil Society Organisations and NGOs in Afghanistan and apart from his task as director of SCA, fully engaged in activities of ACBAR on behalf of the NGO community in Afghanistan. He provided valuable inputs in the advocacy efforts of ACBAR regarding the NGO law.”
