A. PERSONAL STATEMENT
Currently I am working as a Technical Advisor with World Vision Somalia East Africa
since 2014. Providing technical support a consortium of seven partners in Peri-
Urban/economic development.
Previously I worked for Southern Africa Regional Economic Development (SARO), as
the Southern Africa Regional Economic Development Advisor for World Vision
International SARO (Southern Africa Regional Office) that covered 9 countries,
Angola, DRC, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and
Zimbabwe. This enhanced my skills in providing technical and managerial oversight and
leadership of projects and programmes, especially in economic development, as well
as in conducting effective policy dialogues with key stakeholders, drafting strategic
policy papers, strategic plans, budgets, and resource acquisition proposals, which
enabled my ability to display timely decision making. I also have conducted capacity
building of staff in the World Vision Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, and Solomon
Islands on a short term basis in economic Development initiatives. I have a Masters in
Change Management and Leadership, BA in Social Sciences, and I have been trained on
Project for Management Development (PMD Pro).
The 20 years’ experience I have in World Vision has taught me to adapting and
responding to change, sensitivity to cultural differences, and the ability to work in a
wide variety of cultural contexts, experience of emergency and development work,
and an understanding of relevant business, humanitarian and policy issues, good
resource (people/finance/assets) management skills for specific projects/themes, good
interpersonal, influencing and communication skills. Gender awareness, confident
representation skills, excellent Team work skills and the ability to build good relations
both internally and externally. I have worked closely with technical specialists in World
Vision and other consortium partners. I am experienced in understanding the different
sector projects implemented in a humanitarian development industry.

B. KEY COMPETENCIES I POSSESS
i. Building Strategic Alliances: I currently work with a consortium of seven
partner organizations. I have worked with a consortium of eleven partner
organizations in Swaziland. These experiences have enabled me to acquire
knowledge and skills to engage with all the focal people in the partner
organizations to discuss, negotiate and reach agreements for the projects
being implemented in economic Development. One example has been me
engaging the religious and community leaders to agree on charging an
application service fee for the loans since they don’t charge interest on loans
in Islamic nations and Somalia is strictly Islamic. In order to ensure my unit’s
performance I have had to build collaborative relationships with internal and
external stakeholders and accommodate their political views.
ii. Employment creation and active labor market programming: For
the past 6 years I have experience in collaborating with the partner agencies
and the community members to establish formal and non-formal Technical
Vocational Education and training centers in two communities and in the past
two years over 100 youths have graduated in different skills, vital for earning
income and improving the resilient livelihoods of the youth and their families,
thus reducing poverty. I have experience in working with the youth and the
stakeholders in the communities to identify their needs, gather as much
information as we could from primary data and existing secondary data, draft
the policy, present it to all stakeholders for consultation and make a final
review and finalize the policy. Then we had to agree on procedures and then
implement it for the youth and adults job creation in Somalia South Central.
Currently we are monitoring every process and after two years the
stakeholders will sit and revise it.
iii. Income generation and capacity building: Since 2005 I have the
experience of establishing Savings Groups attempt to address these
shortcomings by forming groups of people who can pool their savings in
order to have a source of lending funds. I have trained over 18 partner
agencies from over ten countries on the savings groups’ methodology.
Currently I am working with seven partner organizations in a consortium in
Somalia empowering the focal staff, assisting them to establish, monitor and
support the savings groups in order to create incomes and meet the basic
needs as well as improving their resilience in livelihoods. This has seen over
thousands of households graduating from poverty.
iv. Vision and Goal Setting – In all my jobs and in the current jobs I have the
experience of developing the logical framework, the budget, operational
plans, work breakdown structure, transition plans, RACI- Responsibility
assignment matrix of who is responsible, accountable, consulted and
informed plus developing evaluation plans.
v. Leadership: the work experience I have has taught me to Ability to
prioritize a multitude of important demands on their time. To have the ability
to delivery results/results oriented. To have a high integrity mind-set. As well
as to understanding of the technical side of the business and the products and
services in the humanitarian industry.
