@njokingigi
Program and partnerships manager driving donor-funded education and community impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Program & Partnerships Manager with over four years of experience leading multi-donor education, health, and community development initiatives. I specialize in stakeholder engagement, grant management, and program delivery that drives measurable impact.
At Watoto Kwanza Kenya I designed monitoring frameworks, managed multimillion-shilling budgets, and led programs across 13 schools, scaling services to benefit more than 5,000 students. I secured multi-year funding from international foundations and streamlined procurement workflows to reduce operational costs by 15%.
My work combines data-informed decision-making with hands-on operational oversight; I build tools to collect and analyze beneficiary data, lead quarterly donor briefings, and ensure compliance with donor reporting standards. I also coordinate small-scale infrastructure projects, feeding programs, sanitary pad distribution, and sexual health forums.
I bring strong cross-functional coordination, experience working with NGOs, government bodies, and private philanthropists, and proficiency in tools such as MS Project, Asana, Trello, G-Suite, and Google Sheets. I seek opportunities to expand program reach and deepen sustainable partnerships.
