I help NGOs, agencies, and government institutions in the Horn of Africa turn complex field realities into clear policy decisions, measurable results, and scalable systems.
Since working across Somalia, Kenya, Uganda and South Sudan, the focus has been on building practical bridges between policy, data, and real-world decision-making. Close engagement with local institutions, development partners, and communities has shaped a deep understanding of governance, humanitarian systems, and fragile operating environments.
Work spans government institutions, UN agencies, and development organizations, supporting them to move from fragmented information to clear strategies, credible evidence, and systems that can scale. The emphasis is on strengthening local capacity, improving decision quality, and enabling long-term, sustainable impact in complex contexts.
