خلاصہ

My career is based on more than 13 years of experience working in development sector that includes United Nations, USAID, The Global Fund projects being implemented across Pakistan.
Throughout my years of experience I have been responsible for grants/program management, implementation and compliance. I am also responsible for capacity building and monitoring of non and for-profit bodies and implementing partners and was also involved at the planning stage of various projects, in area of budget assignments and reviews. These experiences have helped me a lot in understanding the overall picture and goal of the project cycle and compliance. Among the key responsibilities of my field is also the implementation of business development strategies and contract management which I mastered in my previous assignments. Having liaised with many NGOs for USAID and UN, I possess the strategic skills to communicate and establish liaison with different partner organizations.
Each of my previous workplaces also required me to provide timely progress and monitoring reports of the ongoing events regarding each project and meeting time-lines, gave me an ample experience to handle the regular reporting of program leads and senior management, as specified in the job duties for this position. Dedicating a larger chunk of my professional life to working for USAID, UN and various other international donor organizations, I picked up the essentials for working a job that requires tireless efforts, operating in diverse and high-risk environment/areas, the thirst to grow and help others grow, effective communication in the most inconvenient of situation, crisis management, conflict resolution and most important of all, efficiency being team leader./p/div
