  • Previously, as a Market System Development and Livelihood Officer, I played a key role in conducting rapid market assessments, value chain analyses, and stakeholder engagement workshops.

Work experience
  • I supported over 18,000 adolescent girls and women in diversifying their income-earning opportunities by starting new businesses or expanding existing small enterprises while attending literacy centers set up by the project. This was successfully achieved through my engagement and facilitation of private enterprise partnerships to support income-generating opportunities for beneficiaries. My experience in enterprise development and financial inclusion, combined with my ability to build strategic partnerships, underscores my commitment to empowering marginalized groups through sustainable economic initiatives.
