My experience cut across field level situational/context analysis on WASH (both emergency and development), natural resources management, food security, emergency relief and rehabilitation and rural livelihoods improvement projects design, planning and implementation with the involvement of all stakeholders in most vulnerable areas of the country so as to serve the needy communities for overcoming their problems and improving livelihoods in a sustainable manner.
