خلاصہ

I am a development professional, having more than 20 years experience in humanitarian/development sector with multiple stakeholders including UN, INGOs, NGOs and government in the different regions of Pakistan. I have managed different projects like Social Mobilization, Health, Education, DRR, Climate Change, WASH and Nutrition. My area of expertise, interest is project management and coordination, particularly with the public sector. My previous job was a USAID funded project UN-Maternal Child Stunting Reduction Programme (UN-MCSRP) where I lead this project as a Regional Project Manager, Sindh.


Recently I have completed my 5 years project with World Bank/Provincial Disaster Management Authority, Punjab (PDMA) as Disaster Management Coordinator, Punjab under Disaster Climate Resilience Improvement Project (DCRIP). Being a qualified, experienced candidate I prefer to work with your organization for this particular position. I am quite confident to work within and lead a team on the basis of my qualification, experience, history of interacting with individuals of different capacities and having the ability to manage a team of professionals. My experience has also allowed me to learn the nuances of people and has provided me with good investigative and analytical skills. My background has afforded me many intangible qualifications, which one cannot learn from a book, such as resourcefulness, insight, adaptability, honesty and work ethics.
