What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead community development initiatives, manage stakeholder engagement, and drive monitoring and evaluation to deliver sustainable, accountable programs.

I am an experienced community development practitioner with a Bachelor of Commerce in Financial Management and over a decade of service at the Department of Social Development, where I lead community mobilisation, project initiation, monitoring and evaluation, and NPO registration support. I combine strong reporting, stakeholder engagement and administrative skills to ensure effective use of funds and sustainable community interventions.

I am computer literate, highly organized and able to work under pressure; I have a proven track record in facilitating sustainable livelihoods, supporting NPO compliance with NPO and PFMA Acts, and providing technical and administrative support to teams and communities.
