@thelmaagada
Program & Project Coordination Specialist driving scalable, data-backed development outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Program and Project Coordination Specialist with hands-on experience coordinating high-impact initiatives, capacity-building programs, and multi-stakeholder engagements across government agencies, international contractors, academic institutions, and community networks.
In my current role at INNOV8 Hub, I lead end-to-end program operations—coordinating over 20 high-profile institutional visits and supporting executive briefing documents and on-site facilitation. I also spearhead multi-channel campaigns (e.g., The Hot Seat and CommUniti Discuss) that drive measurable growth, including a 20% increase in program applications and mobilizing 190+ participants per initiative.
I focus on scaling participation and strengthening ecosystems. I scaled and managed a network of 900+ community members and researchers, achieving a 25% increase in active participation, while synthesizing complex operational metrics into executive reports, strategic briefs, and dashboards to support long-term sustainability.
Previously, I served as an Executive Assistant / Program Coordinator and an Administrative & Program Assistant, where I implemented project tracking and risk management frameworks, improving program delivery efficiency by 20%. I’m equally comfortable with documentation and executive communication—developing proposals and policy briefs, and optimizing confidential information management (including reducing file retrieval time by 40%).
