Sara Isman

Programme Specialist Democracy, Gender and Human Rights at Sida

Kinshasa

I am a result driven humanitarian lawyer/judge with wide-ranging international experience. I have extensive experience from international organisations working with human rights, security sector reform and law enforcement.

I am a confident and passionate team player with excellent negotiation and diplomacy skills and strong communication- and coordination skills.

I studied law, human rights and peace and conflict studies at Lund University and did several internships abroad as a student. I speak fluent English and French and always learn some social communication skills in the local language of my duty station.

I am an active person enjoying to explore cultures, practice outdoor sports, fotographing and to ride my motorbike.
