What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration in public health initiatives, with opportunities for professional growth and impactful community engagement.

I am a strategic and results-oriented Public Health and Program Management Specialist with over 16 years of progressive leadership experience managing donor-funded health and development projects across Ethiopia. My expertise lies in program design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation, particularly for large-scale initiatives supported by USAID and the Global Fund. I excel at leading cross-functional teams, building institutional capacity, and aligning project performance with donor and governmental expectations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed significant projects, including a $450K HIV care and prevention program, achieving all project goals and improving service quality by 95%. I have cultivated strong relationships with regional health bureaus and local stakeholders, enhancing data sharing and reporting systems. My command of data systems such as DHIS2, EMRIS, and CommCare has enabled me to implement evidence-based planning and adaptive management, ensuring high-quality reporting and compliance with donor requirements.
