About

Hi, I’m Francisco FHOTE, a results-driven partnerships and communications professional with over eight years of experience in strategic communications, integrated campaigns, advocacy, and resource mobilization across donor-funded development programmes. I have partnered with USAID, FCDO, the EU, the World Bank, and UN agencies, building strategic alliances and delivering high-impact visibility for programme results.

I excel at turning data into compelling policy briefs, case studies, and knowledge products; I ensure donor branding and visibility compliance across print, digital, and multimedia platforms; and I enjoy guiding teams and partners to achieve shared outcomes through creative storytelling and proactive stakeholder engagement.
