Joude Alshawareb

I am an industrial engineer with a master’s degree in Olympic Studies, specializing in the organization and management of sports programs for social development. My academic journey has allowed me to combine technical expertise with my passion for creating positive change through sports. My master’s thesis explored the challenges nonprofit organizations face in delivering sports programs in West Asia, further deepening my understanding of regional development issues and innovative solutions.

Currently, I am part of Mercy Corps’ Tabeea project, which focuses on environmental sustainability. This role has sparked my interest in integrating environmental issues into my work, allowing me to coordinate logistics with stakeholders and contribute to impactful initiatives. I am also eager to enhance my expertise in Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) to ensure that programs, whether in sports or environmental development, achieve measurable and sustainable outcomes while empowering communities.
