Njiru Simon

I am a 45 year old family man looking for an exciting career that will enhance my professional skills, capabilities and knowledge in an organization that recognizes the value of hardwork, and trusts me with responsibilities and challenges

 My extensive experience in managing international programmes and supporting local organizations to meet their existential mandates in Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, Niger, and India has equipped me with managerial, analytical and technical skills in diverse fields. In a unique ensemble of qualifications and experiences, I have worked on Project Design and Implementation, Grant Management and Fund-raising, and Organizational Development sectors, and I have acquired a high level of adaptability and visioning to direct strategic processes. More significantly, I can build and support teams, and aid in improving their capacities. My exposure to the field of Project Management has been both at Local and International levels, thereby equipping me with writing, networking and advocacy, communication and presentation skills, and the necessary aptitude to overcome obstacles in order to achieve Organisation’s objectives.

My background includes Social Science degree in Sciences and Praxis of Human Development from CUEA, where I specialised in Human and Project management, and a PGD in Conflict Resolution Skills from UK. I have also studied accounting and various short courses that include Training of Trainers, Training of Facilitators for Organizational Management, Facilitating Behaviour Change Process, and Capacity Building, among others.
