I have been working for international NGOs since the last 15 years occupying different senior technical and leadership positions. In various positions, I led the design and successful implementation of several projects and programs covering various African countries. 

Over the past decade and half of professional life, I acquired tremendous technical, managerial and leadership experience thanks to the various roles held at various International Non-Governmental Organizations such as Welthungerhilfe (http://www.welthungerhilfe.de ), ILC (International Land Coalition: www.landcoalition.org ) and currently at Oxfam International (https://www.oxfam.org/en).

• Close working relationship with UN systems (FAO, IFAD, World Bank, etc.) thanks to my current position at ILC. ILC secretariat being hosted by UN-IFAD in Rome.
