Biography

Over 25 years of continuous experience in development work. Prior to joining UNNGOF as the Executive Director, I was working as a Governance Advisor with ActionAid Denmark. I also worked as the Programme Coordinator of the Civil and Political Rights Component of DANIDA Human Rights and Good Governance Programme in Uganda.

Key areas of knowledge include: strengths and weaknesses of Civil Society Organizations in East Africa and the common challenges CSOs face on the Continent; Promoting strategic and constructive dialogue between Civil Society and Government based on comparative and competitive advantage; Negotiations with donors – especially in providing conceptual clarity while providing the necessary pushback; Leveraging membership infrastructure and nurturing strategic partnerships for membership cohesion.

I am currently a member of the Re-Imagining INGOs (RINGO) Social Lab – a group of Practitioners reimagining INGOs through disruption, innovation and systematic thinking.
