About Abhijith
Public Health Project Manager | Community Engagement, Grants & Health Equity
I am a public health and social impact professional based in Amsterdam, with nearly 5 years of experience managing donor-funded projects across HIV, TB, community health, education, and rights-based programming.
I help NGOs, foundations, research institutions, and social impact organisations turn ideas into well-managed, community-centred programmes. My work includes project planning, donor reporting, partner coordination, budget monitoring, grant compliance, stakeholder engagement, capacity building, and developing community-led tools, manuals, and training curricula.
I have worked with international and grassroots partners across India and the Netherlands, including GNP+, REACH, Innovators in Health, APREIS, and community organisations supporting asylum seekers and LGBTQI+ communities. My background combines programme management, public health research, monitoring and evaluation, advocacy, and direct work with vulnerable and marginalised communities.
Clients can expect someone who is structured, culturally sensitive, collaborative, and practical. I bring strong field experience, international public health training, and a genuine commitment to health equity, human rights, and meaningful community engagement.
