KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Fundraising and Partnerships Lead with over eight years mobilizing resources and building capacity for climate action and community resilience across East Africa. I have a proven track record in end-to-end project management, curriculum development, MEL, and stakeholder engagement with bilateral, multilateral, and community partners.
I have successfully managed over $877,000 in grants and strategic partnerships, including a $154,751 grant for green energy expansion and a $256,576 project pipeline focused on community-led reforestation. I institutionalized safeguarding policies, implemented ESG metrics, and increased stakeholder engagement and revenues through targeted partnership strategies.

I seek roles where I can scale climate finance, strengthen partnerships, and drive measurable community impact while continuing to apply strong MEL and program management practices.
