16 years ago today, a 22 year old Ruei Hoth became a humanitarian worker, starting the first role as a mine protection vehicle driver. Through ranks and files in humanitarian operations in the departments of procurement, logistics, finance, monitoring and evaluation, fleet, Civic Engagement, and research in service delivery, I have amassed wealth of experiences in Project and program management.
14 years on, marks the longest time Ruei has spent facilitating meetings and dialogues on conflict resolution, conflict management, and peacebuilding. it's worth noting that the 3 terms have either intentionally or inadvertently been ill-arranged and pronounced.
It has been a journey of program management, working smartly to create possibilities out of adversities in South Sudan and the Horn of Africa. Through USAID - Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI), it has been a shift of mindsets in looking at projects as "temporary endeavors to meeting an urgent pressing need" to looking at the "so what" of the long term impact of the support.
DT Global has rephrased the "so what" question to reflect on the "what would I be" after the endeavor. Today, I see things that no one can see nor was I in any position to preempt when I was looking at jobs as means to survive. Yes, it's peacebuilding but, it's more than just a term. it's HUMANITY.
