HHSCM Alumni Spotlight

When taking the HHSCM program I was a Tropical Health Specialist at the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) in Rwanda and as a reproductive health commodities expert who worked in most humanitarian crisis countries, I understood more how I need to use mathematical modeling in supply chain analysis and design and address easily right recommendations for decision making. My greatest takeaway from the course has been the involvement of mathematics model versus hypothesis in forecasting, quantification, and health commodity distribution plans.
Now in Chad working at Chemonics International as the Senior Technical Advisor for Human Resource for Health Capacity Building, I am doing great in my career progress, and Professional Certificate of Health and Humanitarian Supply Chain Management did no less in my career shaping in both technical and leadership terms.

I ended year 2019 with a consultancy at SWEDD (Sahel Women Empowerment and Demographic Dividend) Project, funded by World Bank where I was conducting a mission of motoring of project implementation level with emphasis on accessibility of Health commodities at last mile, distribution model and Logistics Management Information System. After this mission, I supported UNDP in distribution planning for malaria commodities under Global Fund. I also assisted 3 countries for Health product forecasting in the context of harmonizing distribution plans for all health commodities: Guinea Bissau, for HIV/TB Health commodity forecasting and revising LMIS tools; Cameroon and Madagascar, for Malaria health products forecasting and quantification. One of my biggest accomplishments has been taking lead on my mission with Global Fund in different sub-Saharan Africa locations to help them in elaboration of grant request proposal and forecasting for HIV/TB & Malaria products that will be needed for Fund round 2021-2023.

I am now also on my way to start my PhD and in 5 years I have ambitions to be a country director or regional Director at any international organization that has a great impact in global health supply chain transformation.
