About Gizaw Legesse

I am an all-in-one communication expert: graphic designer, video editor, photographer, web designer, event organizer, an excellent writer and content creator. Most importantly, I have a vision to promote and work towards accurate data collection and adequate documentation for development projects.I have been Knowledge Management and Communications Consultant at Fair and Sustainable Ethiopia for over nine years. Documenting and analyzing development projects to draw lessons and create knowledge and visibility has been the center of my career. I believe systematizing and capitalizing best practices is the better way to assess and give the appropriate value to current and future development efforts.Previously I worked as a Journalist at the late Awramba Times, a weekly newspaper, for about four years as Deputy Editor-in-Chief and a columnist. I am also Graphic Designer, Photographer, Webmaster, and data manager (skilled with variety of digital data collection and management tools). I have a vast experience in writing Articles, telling stories, and preparing reports. In addition, I developed my experience in event organizing and facilitating in AgriProFocus Ethiopia, while co-creating the Business Drinks event for first time in Ethiopia.
