Teaching Farsi/Persian and Arabic through English

I am Akhtar, with more than 10 years of professional experience in different senior positions with various international NGOs. I hold B. An in language and literature and Master Degree in Development Management from the Asian Institute of Management in Manila, Philippines.
I have mostly worked in operations, program management (Education, Food Security, Livelihood, Health, WASH, and ERM), and Office management. I was working with Action Contre La Faim (ACF) Afghanistan Office until the end of Feb 2021 as Ghor Deputy Field Coordinator (Deputy Office Manager). Under this position, I was managing all support functions (Administration, HR, Finance, Logistics, and Security) with a great contribution in the program implementation (reporting, concept development, and implementation). Before my assignment with AAH, I have worked in the positions of Ghor Zone Manager, and Deputy Zonal Manager with World Vision International Office in Ghor.

Both positions were coming under operations, managing all office-related tasks, including projects, and with a significant contribution in the fundraising process through writing concept notes and proposals with program teams in the main office. I have also worked as Education Project Supervisor, M&E officer, and School Development Officer funded by USDA with World Vision International, and as Admin/Finance Officer with International Legal Foundation _ Afghanistan (ILF-A).

Hence, I am familiar with the principles in management, operations, program, leadership, administration, HR management, financial management, monitoring, reporting, funds/grants raising, Project Management, supply chain, and gender. In addition to all these, one major part of responsibility was coordination and liaison with the Government of Afghanistan and other NGOs. I am well familiar with donors’ work context and rules (GAC, USDA, USAID, DFID, ECHO, EU, AHF, FAO, SIDA….).

My language knowledge can also help me play better as I speak English, Arabic, Dari, and Pashtu. During my career with different organizations, I have received a number of professional training in different fields, which also added to my professional knowledge, so based on all these I can see myself meeting your all requirements for the position.

Please review my resume for additional details regarding my expertise and career achievements. I am looking forward to hearing from you about an appointment to discuss how my experience and background meet your needs.
