KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I'm supporting WWF Kenya's SIDA-funded Voices for Diversity programme, helping right holders, local communities, CSOs, and duty bearers advance inclusive natural-resource policies. I coordinate implementation, partner grant agreements and monitoring, stakeholder capacity assessments, donor reporting, events, and project expense tracking.
Previously, I led UNICEF-funded health and nutrition work for vulnerable IDPs, refugees, and host communities in Somalia as a Junior Project Manager at CESVI. I've also managed emergency recovery work after flooding in Beletweyne and supported proposals, budgets, reporting, monitoring, research, curriculum design, and policy-focused programming across humanitarian and peacebuilding contexts.
