Biography
I am a humanitarian and development professional with over 18 years of experience managing programmes in protection, migration, child rights, education, and emergency response across Africa. I have worked with IOM, Plan International, UNESCO, UN Women, MSF, Save the Children, and the Danish Refugee Council, leading multi-stakeholder initiatives in fragile and complex environments. Currently, I serve as Protection Coordinator with IOM in Burundi, where I oversee migrant protection and reintegration programmes. I hold a Master's degree in Sociology and have expertise in programme management, stakeholder engagement, capacity strengthening, policy implementation, and technical cooperation. I am fluent in English, French, Hausa, and Pidgin English and am committed to delivering inclusive, sustainable, and results-oriented programmes.
