About Abdirahman Dahir

I am a seasoned humanitarian professional with over a decade of experience in grants management, business development, and strategic partnerships across East Africa and the MENA region. I hold a master’s degree in development studies and have led the development of multimillion-dollar proposals for key donors such as USAID, ECHO, UNHCR, and DANIDA. My work with organizations like Alight, IRC, Oxfam, and Plan International has equipped me with a strong understanding of program cycle management, donor compliance, and localization. I am deeply committed to designing and implementing impactful humanitarian interventions in crisis-affected contexts.

I am also passionate about blogging and writing articles that explore the humanitarian world. Through my writing, I seek to highlight both the challenges and the inspiring stories that define humanitarian work. I use my platform to spark conversations, advocate for accountability, and share lessons learned from the field. Writing allows me to connect with others who are equally committed to creating a more responsive, inclusive, and ethical humanitarian system.
