The program gave me the opportunity to grow beyond technical skills and step into a true leadership journey. Through my involvement in training field teams and in designing and digitizing complex data collection tools, I gained practical experience in large-scale data and monitoring projects. Working closely with experienced professionals helped me build confidence, take on greater responsibility, and make a meaningful contribution to the success of our missions.”

The program was a particularly meaningful experience of mentorship and learning for me. Throughout the journey, we encountered challenges, but we were able to overcome them together with solidarity and determination. To future cohorts, I would say: make the most of this unique opportunity. As for the partners who support this initiative, their commitment deserves deep recognition, investing in youth is a concrete way of helping build a better future.”

Being part of the first cohort marked an important step in my journey. This experience allowed me to become fully engaged in fieldwork while strengthening both my technical and interpersonal skills in a lasting way. The knowledge and abilities I developed during that period continue to serve me every day. I am proud to identify with Inawa Institute’s vision and with the importance it places on developing young talent.”

Through my experiences as Skoon fellow, I have built strong expertise in methodological design, rigorous analysis, and research project management, spanning field monitoring to data utilization. Beyond technical competencies, this experience has deepened my commitment to evidence-based policymaking and strengthened my passion for knowledge sharing through teaching Python and mentoring emerging talent in data science.”
