Isra Bashe Ibrahim

I am a social worker and Child Protection Officer with over five years of experience managing complex humanitarian cases across Somaliland. My expertise lies in executing comprehensive case management, delivering psychosocial support, and managing evidence-based field data collection to inform protection strategies for displaced persons, women, and children. I specialize in coordinating with local leaders and community stakeholders to build sustainable referral pathways and uphold rigorous safeguarding standards in high-pressure environments. I am now seeking a specialized protection role where I can apply my field expertise and data-driven approach to deliver impactful, dignified services for underserved communities.
