  • Raise awareness of PSEA issues among various audiences across humanitarian, development, and peacekeeping contexts through webinars and presentations.
  • Coordinate activities related to budget funding, including program/project proposals, progress reports, and financial statements.
  • Generate and support survey initiatives, design data collection tools, and analyze responses to identify trends and prepare conclusions.
