Chargé de mission (French for "in charge of mission") is the title of a class of diplomatic envoy.
This type of post is created by an embassy to undertake a specific diplomatic project abroad on behalf of a head of mission or the government.
Most often, the project is economic or humanitarian in nature.
In France, a chargé de mission can also be a civil servant tasked with a particular matter within an administration.
