The Hiring Manager,

Dear Manager,

APPLICATION LETTER FOR THE POSITION OF ENTRY LEVEL PROJECT MANAGER I hereby apply for the Entry level Project Manager position. I am a certified public health and program management professional with over 13 years of extensive experience in international development project management and program implementation, working in partnership with Government stakeholders and civil society organizations. This experience aligns with the requirements outlined in the job description. In my previous role as a Senior Program Officer at Jhpiego, I coordinated the design and implementation of three international donor-funded projects focusing on public health interventions and health system strengthening, while creating operational work plans, budgets, and building relationships with diverse stakeholders. I have a strong professional relationship with multi-sectoral stakeholders in the ministries of health, women's affairs, social welfare, and other partners that implemented the sustainability system strengthening model. I coordinated implementation strategies and collaborated with the technical and strategic information team in the learning and development plans for healthcare workers, ad hoc staff, and civil society organizations. Before joining Jhpiego, I worked as an Organizational Development specialist at Save the Children International, where I strengthened both technical and organizational systems and structures of government structures and 11 civil society organizations towards providing comprehensive quality services for orphans and vulnerable children in Lagos and Cross River States through organizational capacity assessments, sustainability capacity assessments and award assessments and developed improvement plans for the CSOs and line ministries. Furthermore, I have significant experience in training and capacity building, having organized and supported numerous training sessions, with a strong track record in compliance and reporting. I have managed sub-granting and implementation of sub-award funding to civil society organization (CSO) partners in compliance with award requirements. I am proficient in developing and disseminating routine monthly, quarterly, and annual progress reports and fact sheets for donors and stakeholders. This experience directly addresses the requirement to ensure programs meet donor and regulatory requirements and contribute to high-quality reports, trackers, and presentations.

I have great proficiency in designing and managing data collection and analysis tools such as R, Power BI, SPSS, XLS Form, and Kobo Collect, and developed comprehensive databases for human resources and stakeholders which I used for informed program improvement, generate insights for program improvement. Finally, I am certified in PMD Pro, Project Management in Health, Leadership Management in Health, Global Health Research, and have attended numerous trainings, including report writing, grants management, manuscript and scientific writing, and data analysis and visualization. I am a great team player, effective communicator, and analytical thinker who can work in a multicultural environment with relevant stakeholders.
