NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a development professional with over a decade of experience in resource mobilization, program design, monitoring and evaluation, and gender-responsive development across Africa. I have led multimillion-dollar fundraising initiatives, designed donor-funded projects on climate change, gender equality, humanitarian response and social inclusion, and mentored program teams in M&E and participatory methods.
I founded Funds for African NGOs to provide grant-writing, fundraising mentorship and daily funding intelligence, and I currently lead MEAL and feminist research at SOREX where I secured over USD 2,500,000 in competitive donor funding and co-developed gender-responsive monitoring frameworks adopted across multiple programs.
