Tahir Mahmood Saleh, a dedicated development professional passionate about driving positive change in communities through strategic programs, advocacy, and innovation. With years of experience managing grants, designing projects, and building partnerships, I specialize in areas like governance, peacebuilding, climate change, youth development, and economic empowerment.

Throughout my career, I have worked with leading organizations such as Bridge Nigeria Initiative, Genius Hub Global Initiative, DOTAKEACTION, and OCCEN, where I have led major initiatives — from citizen engagement projects to climate resilience programs. I have contributed to creating platforms like the Kano Citizens Charter of Demands and the Kano Tracker for monitoring government accountability under FCDO funded PERL in Nigeria. I am now Partnerships Manager with Center for Renewable Energy and Climate Change CREACC-NG

Beyond program management, I am deeply invested in empowering young people, women, and marginalized communities by providing them with the skills, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive. I bring a results-driven, people-centered approach to every project, aiming to build sustainable, inclusive systems that leave a lasting impact.

With a strong foundation in project management, monitoring and evaluation, advocacy, grant writing, and capacity building, my work is anchored in a belief that real change is possible when communities are equipped, voices are heard, and actions are taken.

When I’m not working on projects, I’m exploring new ideas around sustainability, entrepreneurship, peacebuilding, and mentoring upcoming development workers to become changemakers in their own right.
