What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to contribute to meaningful development projects and grow within a supportive team environment.

I am Abdul Bilal Mohamed Koroma, a dedicated social worker with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Njala University. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in social policy, community organization, and development. I have honed my skills in monitoring and evaluation, enabling me to assess programmatic approaches effectively and contribute to strategic planning within the development sector.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience as a Field Research Officer at Hellen Keller International and as a Policy Design and Management Officer at Advocacy for Women and Youths. These roles have allowed me to develop strong analytical and research skills, as well as the ability to work collaboratively in multicultural environments. I am passionate about promoting development and am committed to achieving results through teamwork and effective communication.
