Hello, My Name is Syed

I have been working for development / charity organizations in Bangladesh since 1993. The last organization I worked for was Bangladesh Safe Agro Food Efforts Foundation (BSAFE Foundation), where I was the head of a project titled "Strengthening Health Policy Systems in Bangladesh" funded by USAID and technically managed by DAI Inc.

In the past I worked for Waterkeepers Bangladesh, Gonoshasthaya Kendra, German Doctors, Price Waterhouse Coopers, CARE Bangladesh, ActionAid Bangladesh, HEKS/EPER and other organizations. I also worked as consultant in different organizations. The positions I held were Country Representative, Program Director, Project Director, Monitoring & Evaluation Expert/Specialist, Site Coordinator, Program Manager etc. I am an expert in program design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. I have skills in partnership development and capacity building. In addition to my current involvement in the fields of food safety, in I have experience in environmental governance, poverty alleviation, women empowerment, health, HIV/AIDS, adolescent and youth development. I worked for marginalized population, including ethnic minorities, transport workers, sex workers, MSM/MSW, transgender, PWID, PLHIV, Rohingya (refugees) etc. I have experience of managing projects funded by USAID, UNICEF, UNDP, WFP, WB, and others and familiar with their reporting systems.
