Professional Experience:
Since June 2000.... With extensive experience in the field of Social Work, I specialize in Research, Health, Protection, and Livelihood programs. As a qualified Ethnographer recognized by Johns Hopkins University, I have conducted in-depth research across diverse communities, particularly in health and protection contexts.
Key achievements include:
- Health Programs: Implementing care and support initiatives for people living with HIV & AIDS and addressing health gaps during the COVID-19 Response and Recovery program in India.
- Protection & Livelihood: Leading refugee-focused protection and livelihood programs in both India and Sri Lanka, as well as facilitating protection-related initiatives and behavior change modules for men, young males, females, children, and mothers.
- Peacebuilding & Social Cohesion: Trained in Peace Building and Social Cohesion in emergency and refugee contexts, successfully integrating these strategies into program development.
- Collaboration & Coordination: Worked closely with UN agencies, government bodies, civil society organizations, community-based groups, and both formal and informal leaders, ensuring the successful execution of sensitive projects, particularly in dynamic, crisis-driven environments.
- Expertise in Protection & Health: Specializing in the management of protection programs, health initiatives to bridge access gaps, and integrating social cohesion strategies across all projects for sustained impact.
I have consistently demonstrated adaptability and expertise in responding to evolving situations while promoting sustainable development and social integration.
