About Sadaf Khanam

As a Program Manager Livelihoods at Nomi Network, I oversee and drive the strategic direction of the livelihoods program on a national scale in India. I collaborate with diverse stakeholders, such as government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and community leaders, to design and implement comprehensive initiatives that foster economic growth and social well-being. With more than 9 years of dynamic experience in the non-governmental and governmental sector, I have a strong track record of creating sustainable livelihood options for the beneficiaries in three major states of Bihar, West Bengal and Odisha. I have led scoping studies, value chain development, impact assessment, and stakeholder engagement for various projects, such as production and remote center unit, poultry life cycle and money exchange, and sanitary pad business plan. I have also managed the budget, fund disbursement, donor reporting, and proposal writing for different partnerships. I hold a Masters in Social Work from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, and I have multiple certifications in Livelihoods and WaSH. I am passionate about empowering communities and enhancing their quality of life.
