    design and process improvement of the Kenya strategy as well as providing strategic
    oversight and leadership in the development and implementation of the charity’s
    programmes in Kenya. I will also apply these skills when working closely with staff in

    increase awareness creation and detection of Neglected Tropical Diseases. A concept
    that was proven and is now being considered for scale up. I successfully conducted
    the identification, incubation and concept development and proof of concept

    for critical areas of operations and most relevant issues that affect donkey and mule
    welfare.

    developed strong relationships and established national and regional alliances with
