I joined Save the Children this year and am based in London. I previously worked with WFP in Somalia on the Social Protection Policy in collaboration with the Federal Government of Somalia and UNICEF. Before that, I was with FAO in Somalia and Pakistan working on food security, resilience and humanitarian response. I am working on Gender and Violence Against Women and Families within Social Protection and Social Protection within Fragile and Post Conflict Countries for Save UK. Happy to talk about anything on SP and Gender and Fragile Contexts.
