About

Results-driven development specialist with extensive experience in project cycle management, livelihoods programming, and disaster risk management. I have successfully led multi-sectoral interventions across Ethiopia, creating opportunities for People transitioning out of Pastoralism, linking smallholder farmers and cooperatives to agro-input suppliers, financial services, and climate-resilient solutions. My expertise spans value chain development, market assessments, and business support, facilitating impactful partnerships between the public and private sectors. I am dedicated to promoting sustainable economic opportunities, resilience building, and financial inclusion for vulnerable communities.
