Our Track Record with the UN
Maven has been working with UN organizations since 2016. With several agencies, the cooperation has been ongoing for up to 10 years and is still active today. The work covers interpretation with technical support, and translation — often within the same long-term engagement. On the humanitarian side, we work with UNHCR and IOM on asylum interviews and field operations, where accuracy and sensitivity matter most.
