Tammey for Youth Development (Case Study)

Context

Tammey is a lean, multinational nonprofit working at the intersection of youth development, research, and capacity building across the Arab world. With a small team operating across borders and time zones, delivery kept scaling while the underlying systems stayed fragile.

The challenge

Professionalize knowledge and digital systems without a dedicated tech team; and without slowing down delivery.

What I did

Knowledge management and digital transformation

  • Designed and built the organization-wide knowledge base in Notion (ops; onboarding; project documentation; institutional memory)
  • Created SOPs; tutorials; and onboarding packages that reduced ramp-up time
  • Supported adoption and cultural shift toward digital-first knowledge work

Platforms and web

  • Managed development of Tammey.org (main web presence)
  • Managed development of MeenaAcademy.org (regional online learning platform)

Strategy and M&E (internal and client work)

  • Built internal performance indicators and M&E dashboards
  • Delivered strategy and M&E systems to multiple nonprofit clients
  • Contributed to research projects across methodology; tools; training; analysis; and reporting

Impact

  • Centralized 5 years of institutional memory into a functional knowledge base
  • Improved onboarding and knowledge transfer via structured documentation
  • Supported delivery across consulting; research; and learning programs

Key takeaways

  • In small teams, knowledge infrastructure is operational leverage.
  • The best systems reduce cognitive load; and increase reuse.
