What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in grant writing and project evaluation, ideally within an organization focused on sustainable development and environmental impact.

I am Gideon Quartey Obeng, a seasoned professional with over 12 years of experience in Government Affairs, Policy and Communications, Technical Writing, and Data Analysis. My career has been dedicated to creating impactful documents and proposals that drive decision-making in critical areas such as biodiversity and climate change. I have collaborated with both local and international organizations, contributing to projects that enhance telecom infrastructure, improve water sanitation, and promote climate-smart agriculture in Ghana.

Currently, I serve as a Grant Writer for Terraformation Inc., where I craft compelling grant proposals for biodiverse carbon projects. My previous roles have included working as a Quantitative & Qualitative Researcher at SIGA Consult and conducting evaluations for the World Bank. I pride myself on my ability to analyze complex data and communicate findings effectively to stakeholders, ensuring that projects meet their intended goals and deliver sustainable impacts.
