What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters youth empowerment and community development, with opportunities for growth and collaboration.

As a dedicated Community Service Officer with extensive experience in program delivery and youth engagement, I have successfully contributed to various initiatives aimed at enhancing community participation and accountability. My role at the Ministry of Internal Affairs has allowed me to conduct pre-sentence inquiries, ensuring that offenders are effectively inducted into community service programs. This has not only improved compliance but also empowered youth through skill development, ultimately contributing to a reduction in crime rates.

In my previous position with Riamiriam Civil Society Network, I played a pivotal role in the development of the Karamoja Regional Strategy, facilitating collaboration among local and regional stakeholders. My efforts in organizing workshops and consultative meetings have strengthened community ties and fostered inclusive participation in governance. I am passionate about advancing civic education and have consistently driven project evaluation processes to align achievements with planned objectives, ensuring transparency and effective reporting.
