I am a systems researcher with dual training in public health and social sciences with a development focus. Passionate about equity and social justice, I take keen interest in leveraging protection, governance/leadership and system strengthening interventions to improve outcomes for DVM populations. Most of my work is in the social sector (including health, education, livelihoods) – in communities with women, children, youth and refugees. System strengthening, multi-level engagement, advocacy, programme and policy support are embedded in my work. I have worked in advisory capacity for policy and decision makers at global, national and agency level; I previously worked for the UK government in Westminster (in a strategy & policy advisory role) to support improving outcomes for children, young people and families. In Uganda I worked in State House under a Presidential Initiative on national health sector monitoring and system strengthening. In Uganda I have traversed all geographical regions, physically visited most (105) districts and over 1,500 health facilities as a monitor for service delivery, an evaluator for sector performance or advisor to provide technical backstopping and institutional support for continuous quality improvement (QI). Under my development portfolio I have worked mostly on community-based programmes in humanitarian and development contexts within Uganda and the Great Lakes Region (Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo). I have vast experience in university teaching, policy and programming work. I have conducted research, published, provided advisory support and consulted widely in RMNCAH, system strengthening and issues affecting DVM populations.
