Community Development Officer
In a project funded by IFAD and AICS (INGOs) to GBRSP, here as a Community Development Officer in Baltistan, my primary responsibilities include building the capacity of agriculture cooperative societies and mobilizing farmer communities to optimize land use for productivity and profitability. I work on developing new agricultural land and fostering collective marketing of agricultural produce. I also emphasize raising awareness about gender equality and promoting gender-responsive practices within village agriculture cooperative societies.
My role involves ensuring that women workers in agriculture share responsibilities equitably, earn fair livelihoods, and actively participate in decision-making processes. To achieve this, I have mobilized women to form their own cooperative societies, integrating them into leadership positions such as boards of directors and senior management roles within Village Agriculture Cooperatives (VACs). Additionally, I prioritize the inclusion of women entrepreneurs by facilitating project support, disbursing microcredit schemes, and implementing internal loaning and repayment systems.
Civil Society Officer
As the Project Focal Person for a project co-funded by the EU and implemented by AKRSP in Baltistan, I worked closely with 21 Local Support Organizations (LSOs) and 5 Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). The project aimed to revitalize civil society organizations, including LSOs and Village Women Organizations (VWOs), while promoting the active involvement of young men and women in decision-making processes. Key interventions included providing technical skills training for youth, facilitating youth forums, and designing gender-responsive initiatives at the grassroots level. Additionally, the project addressed the economic challenges faced by young entrepreneurs as a result of COVID-19.
