AfghanistanWhat I'm looking for
I lead the Provincial Rainfall Monitoring Project, applying soil and water science to improve water-resource planning and climate resilience for farming communities.
As a lecturer in the Department of Soil Science and Irrigation at the Faculty of Agriculture, I contribute through teaching, research, project supervision, and agricultural master training programs. I translate research into practical, science-based solutions for climate adaptation and sustainable agriculture.
My project and M&E work includes SmartPhones4Water, Organization of Human Welfare, Welthungerhilfe, and United Nations OCHA. I've developed monitoring frameworks, analyzed quantitative and qualitative data, trained staff, reported to stakeholders, and supported evidence-based decision-making.
I've also coordinated cash-distribution activities, field teams, beneficiary engagement, post-distribution monitoring, compliance, and risk management. I'm passionate about climate and environmental initiatives that bridge academia with real-world impact.
