JOSEPHINE GATERU

@josephinegateru

Data and research professional specializing in climate policy and food security analysis.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply data analysis and research to drought risk management, community resilience, and inclusive environmental governance—turning Python-based insights into policy briefs that help strengthen resilience and sustainable land use.

I’m a data and research professional with experience in climate policy, climate adaptation, and food security analysis. I’m skilled in quantitative and qualitative research, translating insights into policy-relevant outputs, and supporting evidence-based decision making for resilience and sustainable land use.

I’ve built hands-on research capability through Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) work, survey design and data collection, and core research methods like literature reviews and data interpretation. I use Python for data cleaning, exploratory analysis, and visualization to turn raw datasets into actionable insights, and I’ve contributed to reports, policy briefs, and analytical documents.

Beyond analysis, I bring strong stakeholder coordination and documentation habits—supporting inclusive participation with youth networks and civil society organizations. In my current Community Coordinator role, I manage program data, documentation, and reporting to keep communications and decision making grounded in clear, well-maintained records.
