Good luck! Though I understand your work, to some degree, my take is that many people have little understanding what “development” is. In the USA it may mean economic development, referring to businesses and workforce. Looking back I am shocked how long it took me to translate my skills, like “technical assistance”. Along the way, was forced out of that field, which somehow helped me better articulate what I did and what I can do. Bring it to more granular level.
