A house in Naga Land, Myanmar.

A bookworm

In my childhood, we used bull carts to go to the nearest mountain and collect firewood. The streams were full of fish. Life was easy, and only a few households used electricity back then.

When I became an adult, television and express buses began to exist in the town. We have been using the Internet only since 2000.

I grew up reading books, believing that reading would make me a knowledgeable man. However, as the internet explodes with information, knowledge has been put behind innovation and social skills.

Experience

Project Management

I worked on several projects in many positions, from outreach worker to the head of office.

Health projects were my first experiences; from these projects, I learned project log frames and SMART objective settings, M&E, behavior change communications, counseling, facilitation, first aid, life skills, peer education, a strength-based approach, gender and development, reporting, coordination, fund management, partnership with CSOs, and the basis of supply chain management.

Later, I worked in emergency response in 2016 and disaster risk reduction in 2017. This was also my entry point to multi-governmental organizations. I experienced NFI distribution, cash distribution, and livelihood projects. We provided disaster management training to the township management committees and wrote township-level and state-level disaster management plans. In many cases, a community-based approach was utilized.

I am working as a program personnel now. We do partnership management, grant management, budgeting, strategy development, theory of change and implementation monitoring here.
