Manzoor Ahmed

My career experience and skills have grown from my education at Pakistan’s prestigious university in Islamabad, various academic and professional courses in the country and abroad and employment as a media person and communication manager for a Word Bank project.

I’m a working journalist for the last 24 years and have worked as an individual consultant for the World Bank from July 2017 till Dec 31, 2018.

During my consultancy services, I was responsible for data collection, writing reports and internal and external communication for the Reform Support Unit. I created and managed SELD’s Facebook page and Twitter handle followed by thousands of people, including ministers, parliamentarians and diplomats. I built this social media platform with hard work and handled it in a very professional manner.

I also prepared reports and gave briefings to the delegates of the Global Partnership for Education, a United Nations fund for promotion of education across the globe, who visited Pakistan for meetings.

I’m a working journalist, writer and blogger currently associated with Pakistan’s largest-circulated English Daily Dawn in Karachi. My key activities related to the profession include editing, rewriting and making headlines. So far I’ve written over 200 reports published by the leading dailies in the country. Prior to Dawn, I was sub-editor at The News (Jang Group of Newspapers) and reporter at The Frontier Post’s bureau office in Karachi. Most of my reports are data based.
