I have 10+ years in social protection and gender equity, focused on social safeguards and practical inclusion. I set direction for gender and economic inclusion portfolios, turn World Bank ESF standards into clear operating practices, and lead social risk assessments and due diligence across multi-partner programs. I build simple systems that scale grievance and feedback channels, survivor‑centered safeguarding, and child‑protection protocols with clear KPIs and regular learning loops.
