Abdiwahab Muhumed Muktar
@abdiwahabmuhumedmukt
Experienced project manager and livestock/community development specialist focused on sustainable outcomes, data programs, and stakeholder engagement.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced project manager and multisectoral development professional with an educational foundation in animal science and development studies. I combine research proficiency, cross-cultural communication, and practical program delivery to tackle challenges in agricultural development and social innovation.
In my role as a Senior Program Officer with CARE-International, I increased enrolment and attendance by 80% through targeted outreach and community engagement. I reduced barriers to education using stipends, transport, nutrition, and inclusive policies, while strengthening teacher quality through professional development, mentorship, and instructional supervision.
I also bring hands-on expertise as an Animal Technician, providing animal health care services such as vaccinations, disease prevention, deworming, and livestock management for cattle, goats, and sheep. I support breeding management, conduct health assessments, advise farmers on animal husbandry, and maintain detailed records to ensure compliance with industry standards.
Beyond project implementation, I strengthen my data and analytical approach through an Advanced Diploma in Data Science with R (including machine learning, time series analysis, and data visualization). I also deliver translation and interpretation services (Somali-English) for NGOs and humanitarian organizations, ensuring accurate cross-cultural communication, reporting, and community engagement.
