Summary

With over 11 years of experience in supervisory roles for various donor-funded programs/projects, I have demonstrated expertise in organizing and conducting monitoring and evaluations, qualitative/quantitative data analysis, report development, trainings (IFC/World Bank/Business Edge), proposal development, and program/project management. I possess extensive experience in cross-cultural environments, particularly in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed more than 30 projects for international organizations/donors, from proposal development to project end line reports. In addition, I have actively participated in sessions such as the "Crises Response & Resilience Lab" organized by Start Network and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) organized by Humanitarian Advisory Group (HAG) in collaboration with DFAT Australia. I have worked with numerous national and international organizations over the past 11 years and successfully implemented the projects, including USAID, DFID/FCDO, Start Network, ODI, HAG, USIP, Asia Foundation, AWDP/USAID, UN organizations, DACAAR, AKF, Oxfam GB, CARE International, NCA, DKH, Muslim Hands, Islamic Relief, IMC, BMZ, and World Bank-funded projects. My thematic expertise lies in Education, GBV, Health, DRR, and WASH. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive expertise in concept note development, grant writing, capacity building, baseline/KAP surveys, evaluation, quality research, data analysis, and technical report writing. I am proficient in designing and analyzing quantitative and qualitative research findings using different statistical software. Over the years, I have provided capacity buildings sessions, research, baseline, mid-term, and final evaluation services to clients in the development sector across various regions, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and UAE. I possess the skills to develop programs, conduct monitoring and evaluation, facilitate organizational development, and formulate policies that align with both organizational and donor requirements. I am confident in my ability to undertake a responsible position and contribute effectively as a valuable team player.

As the Manager for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), my job is to carefully plan and oversee the way we track our project\'s progress and results. I work closely with the project team, helping design the project strategies and setting up detailed plans for monitoring and evaluation. Day-to-day, I make sure our monitoring systems are working well. I create tools to collect data and ensure that the information we gather is accurate. I also train our field staff, guiding them in the monitoring and evaluation process. Once we collect data, I analyze it using special tools. I organize the information, find patterns, and summarize our findings. Based on this, I create regular reports, sharing our progress with the team, donors, and other important stakeholders. I\'m also involved in special studies and evaluations. I analyze programs, lead evaluation teams, and coordinate with external consultants when needed. My goal is to make sure we understand how well our projects are working and where we can improve.
