Valeria Ilies

Before joining OnPurpose Programme, I have been working for over eight years in the non-for-profit sector in Moldova, working for UNICEF, with the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova and with local and international NGOs on a wide range of social and governance issues. As Youth and Adolescents Development and Child Protection Officer at UNICEF, I’ve been in charge of managing projects aimed at protecting victims of child abuse, neglect and exploitation and of most-at-risk and vulnerable adolescents. Prior to that, I’ve worked in project management role at the European Information Centre of the Committee for Foreign Policy and European Integration of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, where I’ve been providing consultancy to members of the parliament on European Union related issues. I have a master degree in business administration and a bachelor degree in economics.
