What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in project management and data analysis while contributing to sustainable development initiatives.

I am a dedicated and results-driven professional with a strong background in Project Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL), as well as Data Analysis and Visualization. My experience includes leading and coordinating monitoring and evaluation frameworks, data collection, and analysis, particularly in rural development and agribusiness. I have a proven ability to collaborate with stakeholders, build capacity, and drive projects to successful outcomes.

Currently, I serve as the Planning and MEAL Coordinator at the Partnership for Pastoralists Development Association (PAPDA), where I design and implement comprehensive MEAL frameworks and systems tailored to address forced displacement and refugee integration. My expertise in EU-funded project compliance and cross-sectoral evaluation has enabled me to foster multi-stakeholder collaboration and develop IT-based monitoring platforms. I am passionate about sustainable development and seek opportunities to contribute my expertise in a dynamic organization.
