I’m working as a Program Manager in Community Partners International (CPI) over 5 years. Throughout my working experience in CPI, my work scope has been focusing on sustainable livelihood and community development as well as humanitarian response. As a program manager I’ve been taking care of many projects and engaging over hundred of local partner organizations in order to achieve our program goals that is hugely linked with the sustainable development goals. Here’s a background of CPI, Community Partners International (CPI) empowers vulnerable communities in Asia to meet their essential health, humanitarian and sustainable development needs.

We focus on communities affected by conflict, violence, and displacement, in remote and hard-to-reach contexts, and marginalized through poverty and exclusion. We focus on four main thematic areas, which is Health and Nutrition, Sustainable Development, Emergency Response and Research. We are committed to: ​ Building strong and healthy communities, Improving the lives of women and girls, Creating pathways for leadership and innovation, Promoting sustainable and equitable development.

I consider myself a social worker and have been working for the community even before joining the organization. In addition to this, CPI expanded the thematic focus to social enterprise rather than focusing only on sustainable community development, we need a network that we can share and connect with as well as mobilize the resources. I believe that joining this community and collaborative action will absolutely enhance our service delivery and achieving the SDG goals.
