I am a development specialist with over 8 years experience in management of design, implementation and monitoring of development programs in the development world. My top skills include program design, program and project management and grants/proposal development. I have had a successful track record of writing over 20 project/grant proposals that have received funding from different levels of donors including institutional ones like DFID, NORAD and Irish Aid, foundations and trusts like the McClay Foundation or Church of Ireland's Bishops Appeal and even private - for profit companies like Stanbic Bank. My interests are in supporting young charities in their business development, writing winning proposals and also supporting program strengthening.
