About

With twelve years of progressive experience working within international and national organizations during emergency, conflict, transitional, and post-war periods in South Sudan, I have supported refugees, internally displaced persons, and host communities through agencies such as UNHCR, ECHO, BH, SSJR, and UNICEF. My expertise spans General Protection and Rule of Law, with a proven track record in protection management, leadership, and program implementation. I possess strong proposal writing skills, project cycle management, and administrative capabilities, complemented by experience in facilitating training, community mobilization, psychosocial support, and capacity building. I am adept at promoting adherence to policies and procedures, monitoring and evaluation, and employing holistic, decentralized, community-based approaches to protection. My proficiency extends to developing and executing protection strategies tailored to vulnerable populations, including refugees and marginalized groups. I have demonstrated success in legal advocacy, negotiation, and collaboration with diverse stakeholders—including government agencies, NGOs, and intergovernmental organizations—to advance protection outcomes and promote community resilience.
