Elijah Ochieng
@elijahochieng
Experienced case manager specializing in child protection and data management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Economics and over six years of experience in community health and development projects with a specialty in orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) programming and child protection. My career has been shaped by my roles as a Case Manager and Documentation Officer in various donor-funded projects, where I have honed my skills in case management, stakeholder coordination, and quality improvement initiatives.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed service delivery to thousands of OVC, ensuring their needs are met through effective case management approaches. My accomplishments include achieving high viral load suppression rates among children living with HIV and facilitating the acquisition of birth certificates for many children. I am passionate about using data to inform decision-making and improve service delivery, and I continuously seek to enhance my skills through professional training in areas such as child protection and monitoring and evaluation.
