I have considerable experience in dealing senior management level, including leading a diverse team as well as effective partnership building and maintenance skills. Through my academic and professional experience, I have been able to gain cross-cultural communication skills and sensitivity, creativity as well as the ability to work under pressure and difficult condition. Moreover, I have particular skills in motivating, coordinating and leading a team to achieve programme objectives. As Country Director at SFCG I played a major role in developing strategic growth, policy and advocacy as well working closely with local government and donor agencies. Among others I worked with the United Nations Fund for Population (UNFPA) in Angola as a National Program Officer for Population and Development; I occupied during two years the position of Programme Officer for conflict transformation and democratization in the Great Lakes Region of Africa (Burundi, DRC and Rwanda) at the Inter-Church Organisation for International Cooperation (ICCO). Through this work experience I gained practical skills in:
• Managing team and office and ensuring quality with implementation of projects;
• Planning of projects/programmes, monitoring and evaluation;
• Making coordination and quality control of applications, plans and reports;
• Preparing and revising budgets;
• Building synergy with different stockholders and implementing programmatic approach;
• Working in close collaboration with different stakeholders (government institutions, UN Agencies, multi-lateral and bi-lateral donors as well as civil society) in ensuring successful development of policies that foster good governance, social justice and peace.
I have good computer skills as well as I have good command of English, French and Portuguese.
