- Led a change management process and successfully built-up team morale, resulting in increased productivity in project execution, clinical/quality assurance, procurement, internal/external reporting and beneficiary accountability.
- Oversaw reviews of processes and systems which resulted in major improvements such as strengthening transparency and significantly reducing opportunities for selection bias in procurement.
- Oversaw successful national and community engaging media campaigns to promote family planning and sexual and reproductive health for 8 months in rural areas with extremely positive results in terms of acceptance and adoption of family planning in a culture traditionally and culturally adverse environment to family planning.
- Provided strategic guidance on government relations and demonstrated capacity to operate under enormous public scrutiny and negative media campaigns toward sexual and reproductive health services and succeeded in reopening MSI Niger’s 2 clinics after seven months of negotiations with the ministry of health.
- Contributed to advocacy efforts to overcome barriers that prevent women and men from accessing safe, affordable, reliable family planning and other sexual and reproductive health services.
