Irma Nugrahanti

I am a strategic leader with ten years of experience, mostly in financial and program management, grant writing, monitoring and evaluation, and operations management of complex and cross-cutting projects funded by international donors in aspects of inclusive democracy, human rights protection, health, policy advocacy, and government capacity building. I am a high-capacity professional with excellent interpersonal skills in motivating teams and driving projects to successful completion. I have written reports and fund proposals that led to grants awarded by the USAID, UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), Department for International Development (DFID), Global Britain Fund, and the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives, and others. Furthermore, I am a Co-founder of an Indonesian-based charity called Sekolabilitas, an organization that aims to improve education opportunities for disabled children in Indonesia. I hold a Master of Science in Accounting and Finance from The University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, sponsored by the Indonesian government (LPDP). In 2018, I was awarded a scholarship by The Netherlands government to complete a course on Local Economic Development. In 2019, I was selected to receive the Orange Tulip Scholarship for the MBA program at Nyenrode Business Universiteit, based in Amsterdam. Beyond my academic skills, I am passionate about economic development, women’s empowerment, education, leadership development, and human rights. I am not afraid to take a leadership role and have helped lead workshops and panel discussions about global awareness, women empowerment, diversity and leadership. I enjoy volunteering and have had opportunities to collaborate with various international organizations such as The World Bank and NEXUS.
