I am a development professional with over ten years of experience in this sector and having a blend of experience of
working with grass root level NGO and international agency. I have hands on experience in progressively responsible
professional work in the field of Community Participation, NGO management RH issues, child education women against
violence, improvement of condition of marginalized people and with department if public health and engineering which
can help for better execution of the project. I can provide my best to the organization as I have already worked in the area
of NGO management, System Strengthening, BCC strategy and implementation, Capacity Building and Monitoring &
evaluation. It also includes my experience to work with corporate partners, which can help to facilitate PPP (Public
Private Partnership) in the project area. The current program also gives me an opportunity to contribute to advocacy of
different issues with Government and other counterparts, which could also be capitalized in the project.
Organization would also be benefited by my experiences in developing communication materials, supporting
participatory research & advocacy, organizing trainings and workshops, developing training modules to strengthen
the program components among the various stakeholders.
Further, my experiences of working with CARE-DFID supported programs/projects give me an edge in meeting with the
profile of the position.
My strengths lie in working independently as well as with performance-oriented team. Required computer skills lie in me
and I can also capitalize my skill of documentation to put the organizational learnings in black and white. Being a
part of core team of documentation of CARE-DFID, I have experienced the use of data in documentation. Apart from
this, I can also help the organization in making documentary films of processes and learnings as an asset for
organization.

6. BCC is another area, which is very important to reduce infant morbidity and mortality for both rural and urban set ups,
and I am having reach experience in this subject. I find myself suitable to conduct studies for understanding behavior
of communities, development of BCC matrix and use of different media to influence the behavior. I can justify my
position by developing checklists and conducting impact assessment of BCC efforts, which I am already doing here.
In the current job profile I am responsible to manage all contractual requirement of NGO partner for both program and
finance. Ensuring program impact by using presence of local NGO and its rapport within the community is another
skill, which any organization requires. I am also involved in advocacy on the different issues with Government, which
could be helpful in the program. My experience to work with health, education, ICDS, PHED, police and national
livelihood mission from very beginning of my carrier gives me enough confidence to work for impact at community
level.
Based on the above-mentioned eligibilities, I find myself a suitable candidate for the said position.
