I was first employed as a Research Assistant in 1991 by the Danish International Development Agency in Zimbabwe on a two year contract assessing the socioeconomic impact of rural feeder roads in rural areas. After that I worked again as a a research assistant for the University of Zimbabwe for one year before joining the public service as a community service officer and later as a District Administrator. My job as a district administrator entailed coordinating all the government development and relief programmes in the district. I would also conduct research work for the government as well as conduct monitoring and evaluation exercises. I organised local and parliamentary elections in the years 2000 and 2002. I joined the WFP in 2002 as a field monitor in charge of the food programmes in the western part of Zimbabwe. I conducted basic food security monitoring as well as providing technical assistance to the Implementing NGOs. I was part of the food security monitoring teams in more than 10 food security surveys conducted over a period of 10 years. I left WFP in 2011 to pursue a Masters Degree in Peace and Governance. I worked for WFP South Sudan for six months as a team leader on a humanitarian assistance programme. Part of job in entailed coordination, reporting logistics and conflict management among others. I also attended a course on food security cluster coordination in Stuttgart in Germany last year sponsored by the Norwegian Refugee Council. I have some training in Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) as well as a UNICEF online certificate in Introduction to Child Protection
