POLICY. DATA. STRATEGY.
Where Data Meets Policy, Strategy Finds Its Impact.
AHMEDNOOR SALEH
Ahmed helps NGOs, agencies, and government institutions turn complex field realities into clear policy decisions, measurable results, and scalable systems.
Ahmed also provides the analytical rigor and market insights required to make high-stakes decisions with confidence.
Policy Analysis
Ahmed navigates complex regulatory landscapes for NGOs and government bodies. I don’t just summarize policy; I identify gaps, mitigate risks, and align institutional objectives with public interest requirements.
Data Intelligence
Transforming raw data into proprietary intelligence. Using rigorous statistical modeling and econometric analysis, we provide the empirical foundation necessary for high-stakes decision-making and legislative reform
Strategic Roadmap
Turning research into results. We develop actionable frameworks that bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world impact, ensuring that data insights are successfully integrated into long-term strategy.
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.

Approach
Advisory work sits at the intersection of policy research, humanitarian operations, and data analytics. I help governments and development partners translate field realities into clear decisions, measurable results, and scalable systems.

Operational data → policy choices.
Systems that scale
Tools, workflows, accountability.
Measurable outcomes
Indicators, learning loops, decisions.
