Community Mobilization Officer WV/ETHIOPIA
Most of this work happened in real community settings. Meetings under trees, group discussions, sometimes long walks between villages.
I'I supported awareness activities around nutrition, child protection, and health programs. Working with community leaders became a big part of the role. Some were very open, others cautious at first.
I wrote reports after each engagement based on the reporting format of young designers.
Field reports, follow-ups, coordination… that was the routine. But the real work was often in the conversations that didn’t make it into reports.
Interacted with communities champion groups to get insight on rural adolescents.
