Communications professional driving evidence-based storytelling and partnership-led programme impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a communications and research professional with experience across climate-focused programmes, research and strategic communications in Uganda and internationally. I produce clear, compelling insights for donors and partners, lead stakeholder coordination, and support proposal development and reporting to strengthen programme visibility and funding outcomes.
I have managed large research projects, supervised research teams, and translated complex findings into policy briefs and donor-facing materials, while also designing digital strategies, SharePoint knowledge systems and internal capacity-building workshops. I bring a collaborative, detail-driven approach and a track record of improving engagement, knowledge management and evidence-informed decision-making.
