Based in Jordan, and with the onset of COVID19, I have been working as a consultant researcher and content development specialist on several projects, mainly related to international development, people with disabilities, population, gender, health, refugees, violence, poverty, migration, youth, culture, education among others.
As part of a global partnership between IDRC and UNFPA, I have worked on the assessment and advancement of civil registration records in Jordan; while building a culture of vital statistics in the context of sustainable human development; through intensive cooperation with national partners in Jordan. The project involved three main components: field research activities and national consultations for assessment and identification of challenges and recommendations; capacity building through technical trainings on statistical tools and on evidence-based decision making and communication for development; and outreach through developing various communication and research products including infographics, interactive content on civil registration and vital statistics.
Starting in 2013 as a Consultant Translator, then ranking up to an Associate, I have contributed to the development and implementation of top-level communication and branding projects with leading regional clients. My specific role has been focused on the Arabic content, translation and quality of Arabic content throughout the different aspects of the projects (including but not limited to, presentations, policy briefs, media and communication documents, messaging and narratives, factsheets, memos and agreements, among others).
Providing research papers and briefs, collecting data, preparing concept notes, nominating contributors for the various events, reports and background papers, coordinating and reviewing the background papers and the report chapters, coordinating and preparing for the field studies and launch events. The Arab Knowledge Project is a joint initiative between UNDP and MBRF Foundation (UAE) seeking to promote knowledge as a gateway for achieving sustainable human development in the Arab region.
