Some examples of my work
Project Development:
Humanitarian Fleet Management Standards: I co-developed quality standards for humanitarian transport operators. The standards allow organisations to assess their current fleet management practices and to identify areas for improvement. The standards were tried with organisations in Kenya and are now offered to use through Fleet Forum. (www.fleetforum.org)
Child Road Safety Education Package: In India, where road safety education is not part of the schools curriculum, I helped to create a road safety education package for children aged 5 – 12. The package consisted of classroom and outdoor activities and aimed to include the children’s parents and the local communities through street plays and volunteer activities. The project was piloted with 5 schools in Jaipur, India and included 800 children.
Design of a Road Safety Management Strategy: I co-developed a Road Safety Management Policy for one of the large UN agencies. With the policy we also created a Road Safety Guide that supports staff in the field to implement the policy. To create awareness throughout the organization we developed a training package that was successfully.
Programme / Project Management:
I managed a public-private partnership that addressed road safety in aid and development organisations. This project was piloted with 6 aid and development organisations in Kenya and was awarded with the Prince Michael of Kent International Road Safety Award in 2009
Currently, I am managing a large fleet management training development project for one of the UN agencies. The training package addresses the importance that fleet operations have on the achievement of their mandate / objectives and provides the stakeholders (from senior managers to drivers) the relevant knowledge and skills they need to execute their fleet responsibilities.
Trainer / Facilitator:
Over the years I have trained over 200 staff members in aid and development organisations in humanitarian fleet management. The trainings are practical and hands-on but also aim to trigger strategic thinking with the participants. The trainings brought me to various places in the world; Bangladesh, Haiti, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan to name a few.
