I have been working with NGOs since 2019. And the main task I always do is writing reports. I participated on making proposals. I have a strong analytical skills and have an experience on planning, monitoring and evaluation. I helped identify operational bottlenecks, consult with team members regarding causes and recommend solutions and to alert the management, if and when it encounters excessive or undue delays including potential threats or risks. I facilitated proper documentation and filling of operational activities and success stories to facilitate preservation of institutional memory as well as ensure materials are available for future reporting, programmatic promotions, visibility, audits and the likes. I also prepare activity designs and action plans. Provided technical support to other projects and organizational activities of the previous organization I worked with. Lastly, I reviewed and consolidated the technical reports from area of assignment and ensure timely submission to project officer/ coordinator for final review.

Recently, I was working with Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society (CBCS). During my term as project assistant, my tasks were to facilitate capacity building activities for sub-recipients and area team in the area of assignments. I also took the lead in the area planning, implementation and monitoring of the project and to ensure proper coordination with partners and relevant stakeholders in the area of assignments. I facilitated technical and administrative support to the field teams and sub-recipient and maintained the coordination with project officer/supervisor and sub-recipients/area team regarding project targets, tools and methodologies, to ensure compliance with the overall project management and institutional plan including risk management. Furthermore, I reviewed and consolidated the technical reports from area of assignment and ensure timely submission to project officer/coordinator for final review. I facilitated proper documentation and filling of operational activities and success stories to facilitate preservation of institutional memory as well as ensure materials are available for future reporting, programmatic promotions, visibility, audits and the likes. (including all necessary documents such as Attendance sheet, liquidations, ORs, activity designs and/or programs, action plans, statements in case of making position papers, etc.). I helped on identifying the operational bottlenecks, consult with team members regarding causes and recommend solutions and to alert the management, if and when it encounters excessive or undue delays including potential threats or risks. I also coordinated with the Information Management/Monitoring and Evaluation (IM/M&E) colleagues to ensure operational activities and outputs are properly documented and tracked in the Operations Database System and provided technical support to other projects and organizational activities of CBCS upon request and approval of project officer as immediate supervisor.
