At the Federal Ministry of Health, Ethiopia, I manage a multi-million USD portfolio of donor-funded health programs, coordinating work plans, budgets, implementation progress, reporting, and compliance.

I coordinate the multi-donor RMNCH Compact and work with government institutions, donors, NGOs, CSOs, regional health bureaus, and implementing partners. I also review CSO health project proposals and coordinate project evaluations and donor-funded audits.
