Burundi
Message

At ICAP at Columbia University, I develop personnel policies and maintain the local hire manual in line with labor laws and ICAP procedures. I also support full-cycle recruitment and onboarding for office vacancies.

I work with the Country Director on employee relations, including conflict resolution and disciplinary matters, and provide guidance on HR matters. I also prepare monthly payroll data with the Finance department.

Previously, at International Rice Research Institute, I supported HR programs across Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique. My earlier work includes recruitment at One Acre Fund and training and development at International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC.
