Overview And Experience

I am a leader and manager with expertise in legal protection, governance and peacebuilding. Within the humanitarian sector, I have worked with NGOs in Uganda, Nigeria, Colombia, Myanmar, and Iraq to design and deliver programmes to help vulnerable populations to exercise housing, land and property (HLP), work/employment, and legal identity rights. I have also designed peacebuilding programmes and facilitated training on collaborative dispute resolution, and inter-faith dialogues, and provided oversight to youth-led empowerment programmes. I have worked with a network of NGOs to strengthen civic engagement initiatives to enable communities to engage in policy analysis, advocacy, dialogue, and collective action for peaceful and democratic change, and to ensure accountable system of governance. I have spearheaded the start-up of a digital legal aid platform, KOBLI, to ensure adequate access to legal information and related legal aid services to a larger proportion of people in Iraq.

In academia, I have taught courses in Conflict and Peace Studies, Project Planning and Management, and Ethics and Governance at the Institute of Peace and Strategic Studies of Gulu University from 2007-2011, and 2012-2014 on a part-time basis. I was a Research Fellow with the African Leadership Centre, King’s College London from 2012-2013.
