She perfectly understands the importance of her role as an individual and as a part of WFP team, and puts all her efforts on accomplish personal, unit and office goals. Furthermore, Misrak continuously propose and provide ideas on how to improve the current procedures. It is remarkable that, during the second half of the year, Ethiopia faced the Horn of Africa crisis and a new office was installed in Dollo Ado. The workload derived from this was overwhelming and the majority of the staff dedicates a lot of time to related activities. In particular, Misrak contribute with several ideas and work really hard to make sure that everything was implemented and provided on a timely basis in order to ensure that the office was 100% functional as soon as possible. Despite the mentioned above, Misrak continue with his daily work, including the regular assessment visits to sub offices. In addition, she actively participates on the planning of the yearly workshop for Admin staff on the field, including logistics for the event. Among other achievements, she managed to finalize a proper handover with the former WFP landlord after several months of difficult negotiations; she properly follow up the convocation of the LPSB and she ensure that proposals were implemented as required and; travels for CO were processed within the time limits. In summary, Misrak has prove several times that she posses excellent managerial skills, and she has prove to be a team player highly committed with WFP. Due to, I encourage her to continue on the same trend as she is demonstrating to have the necessary capabilities to be on a more senior position in the short term."
