Biography

I joined African Prisons Project in February 2013 and I am currently the Regional Director. I have many years’ experience working as a multi-disciplinary professional including program planning, design and management, monitoring and evaluation, IT training and staff capacity building. I am passionate about using my skills and expertise to contribute to criminal justice reform which is fair, just and accessible to everyone regardless of their gender, age, socioeconomic or legal status. As Regional Director, I am responsible for overseeing strategic and key operations across East Africa including influencing the criminal justice system and actors to promote, uphold and fulfill the rights of access to justice for prisoners. I have notably led our work to recognition as best partner and collaborator with Justice, Law and Order actors in Uganda, held the first TED events in East African prisons, and with my team supported more than 6,000 prisoners. More than 80% of our clients have been reunited with their families.
