What I'm looking for

Communications, Project management.

At Action Against Hunger, USA, I design and lead the country communications strategy and serve as the primary communications focal point. I produce donor-quality reports, press releases, speeches, and talking points.

I also manage the organisation’s presence on X and LinkedIn, and maintain knowledge systems for communications materials, including photo and video banks, story repositories, and templates. I support technical teams and field staff to collect content for knowledge products and external events.

Previously, at GIZ Uganda, I developed the corporate communications plan and created public awareness materials. Across my work in humanitarian and development programmes, I’ve focused on stakeholder engagement, accessible communications, and strengthening documentation and information sharing.
