What I'm looking for

I want a role where I can lead field data collection and health M&E, using mobile tools for strong data quality, while supporting accountability (CFM) and community engagement. I’m focused on reliable evidence and actionable reporting.

I have 5+ years work experience in field data collection and coordination, planning/implementation, and monitoring of health projects, including maternal/reproductive health, community pharmacy (CP), and data management with strong data analysis. I’m experienced in needs assessment and designing data collection tools, including work using mobile kits and hard-to-reach approaches.

I conduct and manage data collection using KII, FGD, interviews, M&E, DQA, questionnaires, and participatory methods—often ensuring reliable, accurate, valid, and relevant data. I’ve also supported HIV Counselling and Testing, TB work, referrals/linkages, and community mobilization/engagement, with a focus on confidentiality and adherence to rules, policies, and standards.

In accountability-focused roles, I’ve handled Complaints & Feedback Mechanism (CFM) work: receiving and documenting complaints through multiple channels, maintaining confidential records, categorizing and escalating cases, and preparing weekly/monthly reports—while ensuring PSEA, safeguarding, and data protection compliance. I’m confident using tools like KOBO Toolbox, ODK, SurveyCTO/Survey123, and REDCap to deliver data quality that teams can act on.
