I have spent eight years with UNOPS turning field evidence into decisions that governments and donors can act on. As Regional Partnerships Analyst, I coordinated UNOPS, UNDP and FAO through to signature of a USD 100M+ climate-resilience programme in Eritrea and led proposals to JICA, the European Union and bilateral partners.
As Team Lead in the East and Southern Africa Multi-Country Office, I led the assessments behind the Somalia post-flood damage report and the 2024 Kenya floods, which triggered a joint UN Post-Disaster Needs Assessment. Earlier, I deputised for the project manager on the World Bank-funded Somalia Urban Resilience Project in Mogadishu.
I am PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner certified and an MBA candidate at Hochschule Darmstadt (expected completion January 2027). I am based in Germany and available immediately for programme, partnerships and digital transformation roles.
Coordinated three UN agencies through to signature of the partner agreement for a USD 100M+ programme, and helped secure the government’s no-objection to implementation.
Satellite flood mapping of all 17 districts became the basis for prioritising drainage and road investments, informed by community consultations.
Linked property locations to the revenue databases of three councils, supporting a 50% rise in revenue-collection efficiency, and trained council staff.
Led the flood assessment that triggered a joint UN Post-Disaster Needs Assessment, with UNOPS leading the transport sector.
Topographic assessments of 27 sites and about 15 water systems in a post-conflict setting, with no safety incidents.
Catchment analysis and topographic surveys for ten dam rehabilitations, strengthening rural water resilience.
Remote programme support for further countries, including Eritrea. UNDSS SSAFE trained.
