With over 11 years of experience in supervisory roles for various donor-funded programs/projects, I have demonstrated expertise in organizing and conducting monitoring and evaluations, qualitative/quantitative data analysis, report development, trainings (IFC/World Bank/Business Edge), proposal development, and program/project management. I possess extensive experience in cross-cultural environments, particularly in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed more than 30 projects for international organizations/donors, from proposal development to project end line reports. In addition, I have actively participated in sessions such as the "Crises Response & Resilience Lab" organized by Start Network and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) organized by Humanitarian Advisory Group (HAG) in collaboration with DFAT Australia. I have worked with numerous national and international organizations over the past 11 years and successfully implemented the projects, including USAID, DFID/FCDO, Start Network, ODI, HAG, USIP, Asia Foundation, AWDP/USAID, UN organizations, DACAAR, AKF, Oxfam GB, CARE International, NCA, DKH, Muslim Hands, Islamic Relief, IMC, BMZ, and World Bank-funded projects. My thematic expertise lies in Education, GBV, Health, DRR, and WASH. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive expertise in concept note development, grant writing, capacity building, baseline/KAP surveys, evaluation, quality research, data analysis, and technical report writing. I am proficient in designing and analyzing quantitative and qualitative research findings using different statistical software. Over the years, I have provided capacity buildings sessions, research, baseline, mid-term, and final evaluation services to clients in the development sector across various regions, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and UAE. I possess the skills to develop programs, conduct monitoring and evaluation, facilitate organizational development, and formulate policies that align with both organizational and donor requirements. I am confident in my ability to undertake a responsible position and contribute effectively as a valuable team player.
