I am the Director of Global Programs at Namati where I work closely with each of our program teams on strategies for legal empowerment. I focus on program design, strategic learning, and action research to advance social change. My background is in land and natural resource rights in West Africa. I’ve worked on community-based programs for participatory environmental governance in Senegal and Mali as well as doing research on how decentralization is impacting community land rights and the opportunities it can open for enhancing accountability to local citizens. I’m also currently affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
