Communications Officer – Himalayan Resilience Enabling Action Programme (HI-REAP)
Resilient mountain economies and landscapes (SG2)

As the Communications Officer for HI-REAP, my role is multifaceted. I am responsible for managing content and key messages, coordinating communications across Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal, and preparing a range of communication materials. Encouraging a digital-first approach, I foster open collaboration and work with external partners to create engaging content. Internally, I coordinate with HI-REAP and ICIMOD teams, actively contributing to the programme’s communication strategy and ensuring effective documentation and dissemination of publications.

With over five years of experience in the communication sector, I have collaborated with various organisations to plan and execute impactful outreach and communication initiatives. My focus has been on the livelihoods of rural communities, with a particular emphasis on children and marginalised groups. I am also an alumna of the Erasmus Mundus program in Finland, where my academic pursuits centred around sustainable development, community participation, and empowerment.
