The job of Program Officer with Aga Khan Foundation was a tremendous learning opportunity for me to manage a large fund. - Anonymous employee Aga Khan Development Network Employee Review

Innovation and development. Leadership and management. Working with the community

Agile approach. Complexity of programs.

The work that I got to do with this organization was very rewarding. They raise money to end global poverty. I was part of the schools outreach team. The schools initiative was in its' second year at the time. It was challenging to establish a name for the schools outreach team among the local community but I enjoyed the challenge. I had immense support from my team. By the end of my term we not only reach but surpassed our goal of having 20 schools as an active part of the initiative.

Depending on your role the responsibilities can become a bit overwhelming at times. I had a regional role so that meant a lot had to be done in a somewhat short amount of time. Although, if you are passionate about ending global poverty then the lack of sleep/social life/work-personal life balance won't phase you.
