Introduction
I possess 25 years of Management, Training and Capacity Building experience in the diverse areas of development with Government of Pakistan, national, foreign organizations, undertaking the portfolios of multimillion USD at grassroots, national and international levels. Mainly I have worked in the areas of Governance, Social Protection, Public Private Partnership, Democracy, Civil Society Strengthening, Elections, Campaigns, Monitoring, Voters’ Education, Youth Development, Empowering Vulnerable Population, Education, Capacity Building and Trainings, Leadership development, Cultural Diplomacy and Human Rights. I obtained a master degree in Political Science and Project Management Professional (PMP) from BMC-PMI-USA and also attended number of academic and professional courses and trainings in Pakistan and abroad. I achieved Legislative Fellowship (legislation, elections, political and governance) of US Department of State in Washington DC.
I have rich experience of serving at senior positions in large budget programs e.g. BISP/World Bank (100 million USD), USAID-Training for Pakistan (33 million USD), Education Sector Reforms Assistance, 3,800 grants for schools’ construction, Parallel Vote Tabulation on Election Monitoring with 14,000 observers, USAID UNOCHA Emergency Relief Funds of 17 million USD (grant signatory), DFID Civil Society Challenge Fund (over a Million Pound), etc. I have also served as Country President of Pakistan US Alumni Network (PUAN) for several years and was a signatory of US Embassy/USEFP/PUAN Alumni Small Grants Program. This is a high-level network of USG alumni even the former Prime Minister, many ministers, parliamentarians, highest level of govt. officers are part of it.
I have in-depth knowledge of development strategies, priorities, mechanism of international donors particularly the World Bank, USAID, ADB, EU, UKAID, UN, INGOs, development institutions, as well as Pakistani government functionaries and public policies at federal, provincial and local levels. During my career I have been directly interacting and enjoyed excellent professional relations with high level of diplomats (ambassadors), professionals, ministers, heads of the institutions and senior government functionaries. I have strong public speaking skill and delivered hundreds of speeches, trainings, interviews, participated as chief guest/guest of honor to hundreds of meetings, sessions, certificates and awards distributions ceremonies, national and international seminars, TV/Radio talk shows. I’m also a regular speaker to many organizations like NCRD on public policy, public engagement, etc. recently NCRD/Establishment Divion nominated me as Expert speaker for Integrated Rural Development for Asia and Pacific.
Keeping in mind the interest of the assignment financial requirement is a secondary thing; however, I would like to quote PKR 50,000 to 80,000 per day.
