WASH Cluster Coordinator - P3
Kinshasa

Profil professionnel

I bring 15 years of experience in the coordination and management of emergency Programmes. Thanks to my current experience as Emergency WASH Officer with UNICEF DR Congo I am familiar with humanitarian environment and motivated to continue my career within UNICEF. For over five years in I have been working in UNICEF DRC’s Emergency Water Hygiene and Sanitation Programme, where I had the opportunity to work in multiple roles in Emergency Program Management, Information Management and WASH Cluster Coordination at national and provincial levels. This allowed me to hone my Emergency skills in Preparedness, emergency Response and give proof of my and ability to learn quickly. Over the past two years, I have added to the rich experience of national staff a good dose of knowledge of the work of international staff, and I work in support of field offices in the context of emergency coordination.
