I am the National Facilitator to the GEF project on Dugong and Seagrass Conservation and act as a liaison person between the Government Ministries, implementing partners and the donor. As part of my role, I facilitate and chair meetings of the National Facilitating Committee on the above mentioned project and prepare minutes for the meeting. I have a passion for community, and conservation and I hope I can make a difference in what I do.
