Passionate and experienced in community mobilization, engagement, and community service. I have worked with different humanitarian actors and contexts for over ten years. Some of my achievements include supporting and following up with community-based protection structures in camps and urban areas, coordinating and implementing various assessments and surveys, developing information-sharing tools, and contributing to establishing new setups, such as accountability mechanisms, community centres, mobile teams, and new areas of intervention. I am passionate about working with people, empowering them with skills and knowledge to be self-reliant and ensuring they can cater to their basic needs. To enhance my understanding of the global and regional dynamics that affect the humanitarian situation and the protection of the displaced population, I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in International Relations.Feel free to reach out to me via email at malek.sabbouh@outlook.com for collaborations or inquiries. I look forward to connecting with you!
