Senior Program Officer, Scaling InnovationResults for Development Institute
I’m a development communications expert passionate about innovative and inclusive human-centred approaches that use storytelling, narrative building, and indigenous knowledge to disrupt social hierarchies, secure greater equity and transform societies.
I'm currently working on supporting equitable development funding practice, inclusive demand-led innovation, and responsible scaling of development innovation for health, education and nutrition. I also manage a development innovation training that supports practitioners to engender stronger, more inclusive innovation ecosystems that can support the responsible scaling of diverse innovative solutions.
Outside of my role at R4D, I'm co-leading an incubation lab around African narratives for decolonising development funding and involved in an exploration using XR for collectively envisioning a transformed system without sexual and gender-based violence.
