Furthermore, my research work has placed me at the center of the policy process where I have worked effectively with government officials and other community groups and helped create solutions to domestic violence at the county level.
I have practical experience in project planning, implementing of project interventions, budgeting, report writing, documentation, supervision, monitoring & evaluation, linkage negotiation, coordination, facilitating meeting, seminar, workshops and campaign etc;
My communication skills will also come in handy as I am comfortable making presentations to large groups of people while demonstrating integrity and understanding during interactions with the public.
I strongly believe that my competency of precise knowledge on management along with the experience will contribute in making a good outcome for your projects and organization as well.
