Abdirahman Osman Saed

I am a public health and monitoring specialist with over four years of experience leading field research, community assessments, and data collection across Somaliland. I deploy mobile survey technologies including KoBoToolbox and ODK to gather high-integrity primary data from vulnerable populations under rigorous safeguarding standards. Holding a Master's in Project Planning and Management, I translate community-level insights into structured evidence that strengthens humanitarian programming.
