I recently completed two critical assignments as a World Bank consultant on an international development program with an annual budget of $25 M and non-governmental organizations coordination at the Ministry of Economy in Afghanistan.
My strong drive for change begins with proven policy and procedure development, organizational effectiveness, and relationship building have prepared me to hold these positions.
In my last two positions, I grew the policy and procedures development for NGOs effective coordination that did not happened in 14 years since 2004, and the regional program’s annual budget from $3 million to $25 million for funding development and humanitarian projects in Afghanistan. It was due to regular planning, resource mobilization, communication, bureaucracy reduction, and the establishment of sound management, and support systems in the Ministry of Economy of Afghanistan.
Competing interests and barriers often made my position challenging, but thanks to coordinating regular remote and in-person meetings with the ministry leadership and directorates at the provincial level were sorted out the problem and made changes happen.
My seven years of experience with international organizations such as Oxfam GB and ActionAid enabled me to handle complicated programs and join the government to utilize my knowledge, skills, and competencies. I believe my accomplishments in a country like Afghanistan are enormous.
A reputable organization offered a team leader position for a university student, facilitated accelerated education for 3400 adult girls, and enrolled in their secondary schools.
A fresh graduate was assigned in charge of the regional program and created a better environment for life in program coverage areas by building local advocacy and change-makers in six thematic areas, good governance, human security, women's rights, child protection, and food security.
A talented young woman was assigned as a multinational program/project manager and established networks of 6000 women and youth activists to advocate for women's leadership, participation, and access to justice at national and international levels.
From a competitive recruitment process, I have been assigned as the youngest head of a department in the reputable position of the Ministry of Economy of Afghanistan.
Despite all the challenges I have faced in my 16 years of working in very conflicted affected areas and people resources were moderate with the incorporation of long-life learning, research, adaptability, and negotiation skills was able to meet it, expand it, and consistently meet the organizational goal.
At that time, I tried to emphasize procedures and policy development to avoid challenges that were effective, and I passed the torch on to enthusiastic and capable colleagues who were interested in working for a better future for the country and the people we served them.
My background guides me to always accept high risks and put myself in a challenging position that can utilize my competencies and serve people in need.
