What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Research Assistant position supporting ongoing studies at the innovation village in Central Uganda, preferably with a company that specializes in innovation. I’m looking for a role that supports my professional and personal growth through continuous learning and use of my relevant skills.

At Sasakawa Africa Association / Sasakawa Global 2000 Uganda, I conduct literature reviews, collect and analyze data, and prepare data collection tools for research studies. I also maintain interview records and summarize interviews while safeguarding subject confidentiality.

I prepare reports, articles, and presentations, extract data for monitoring, and support research projects by managing project-related email and attending meetings. My work includes preparing materials for submission to granting agencies and foundations.

Earlier, as an Intern -National Agricultural Advisory Services at Makindye Sub County, I collected and recorded field data and participated in project monitoring, evaluation, and report writing. I hold a Bachelor of Agricultural and Rural Innovation from Makerere University.
