I have supported local governments as a healthpolicy consultant to reform their local health policy
based on comprehensive analysis of the local
health needs. It makes me proud as I was able touse the knowledge and skills I gained from myMPH program to strengthen local health system
and increase capacity of local government toactively address health needs of its people. Someof the local governments have expanded theirhealth care services beyond vertical healthprograms with local funds and revenues.

I initiated and led the implementation of theproject that aims to utilize agrowaste like maizecobs, groundnut shells, and rice husks to produce
high-quality cooking briquettes for smallholder
farmers' households. Over 15 groups of farmers
have been trained and recent feedback shows thatover 10 small-scale briquettes businesses havebeen started by mostly women. This project makes
me proud because, in addition to the positive
benefits for the communities like improved
household income and increased awareness about
the dangers of cutting down trees for firewood, I
was invited to share this initiative at the recent UN
Summer Academy 2022.Thank you!

After completing my degree, I have been appointed as
leader of International Taxation Section of IRD. I took partin tax treaty (DTA) negotiation meeting between
Myanmar and Cambodia as a negotiator. It was a
successful negotiation. Knowledge and experience which I
gained from the JJ/WBGSP degree provided me tobecome a professional tax officer. This achievement
makes me proud because my contribution is effective andbeneficial to my organization as well as to my country.
