Anti-Corruption tools and methods

As an individual with a deep-rooted passion for political science and a career spanning over two decades at the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida), I have continually sought opportunities to make a meaningful impact on governance, public administration reform, and humanitarian efforts around the world. My academic journey, culminating in a master’s degree in political science from the University of Stockholm, laid the foundation for my commitment to creating positive change through sustainable development practices. This academic achievement has provided me with a solid theoretical background, which I have diligently applied to practical scenarios during my extensive professional tenure at Sida. Since 2021, I´m seconded to DG ECHO and I´m currently working at the policy unit focusing on the humanitarian, development peace nexus as well as on social safety nets in humanitarian contexts.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on diverse and complex projects, spanning continents, and encompassing critical issues such as public health administration, fiscal reform, anti-corruption initiatives, social protection, poverty reduction, and human rights-based approaches. My experiences in Bangladesh, Guatemala, Honduras, Afghanistan, Latin America and Brussels have not only broadened my horizons but have also underscored the significance of adaptable, innovative, and evidence-based policymaking to address the multifaceted challenges facing our world today.

I am an Ethiopian filmmaker, theatre artist, and media professional passionate about using storytelling as a tool for cultural preservation, social dialogue, and community empowerment. With a BA in Cinema and Theatre Arts and ongoing graduate studies in Media and Communication, I bridge artistic creativity with strategic communication to create impactful narratives.

Currently serving as Assistant Director of Stage and Studio Production at Amhara Media Corporation, I coordinate television, cultural, and studio productions, ensuring quality storytelling and audience engagement. My creative portfolio includes the feature film ውጥን (“Wutin”), short films such as Whispered Fractures, and theatre productions like Titon (children’s theatre) and Homa-Mir (indigenous marriage traditions of Gojjam).

Beyond the stage and screen, I have organized and hosted major cultural events including ንባበ ሕይወት and ንቂ ኢትዮጵያ book festivals, both covered by Amhara Television. I have participated in international festivals such as SmartPhilm, and received training from Canon Academy, Reuters, and American University.

My work focuses on amplifying underrepresented voices, integrating indigenous knowledge into modern media, and leveraging digital platforms to extend the reach of Ethiopian visual storytelling. I aim to foster cross-cultural dialogue, inspire youth, and use media as a catalyst for positive social change.

I am a mid-level law enforcement and public administration professional with over 20 years of experience in operational leadership, police training, and international cooperation. As a Kriminalhauptkommissar and graduate in Public Administration (Dipl.-Verwaltungswirt FH), I have successfully led teams, managed projects, and contributed to both national and EU-level initiatives.

My professional focus lies in bridging operational expertise with strategic objectives—especially in areas such as international police cooperation, capacity building, and the implementation of EU internal security standards. I have participated in EU and UN missions in post-conflict environments and served as a certified CEPOL trainer for European law enforcement cooperation and leadership development.

I bring strong interpersonal and intercultural skills, combined with hands-on experience in Twinning, TAIEX, and institutional networking. I am committed to supporting resilient, transparent, and effective public institutions—especially through training, project coordination, and international knowledge exchange.

Fluent in German and English, with working knowledge of Italian, I am open to international assignments and motivated to contribute to collaborative, future-oriented solutions within the European security and governance landscape.
