What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead ESHS and resettlement processes, drive community-centered mitigation, and support contractors or agencies in improving project social outcomes.

I am a social development specialist with extensive field experience in environmental, social, health and safety (ESHS) compliance, resettlement, and community engagement on major road projects.

From 2017–2023 I served as a Land Acquisition Sociologist at the Uganda National Roads Authority, leading stakeholder consultations, grievance management, baseline surveys, and compensation preparation for project-affected persons.

Since September 2023 I have been providing ESHS compliance support to contractors on UNRA road projects, conducting inspections, incident investigations, policy development, and regular reporting to stakeholders.

I combine strong communication, monitoring and evaluation, and grievance resolution skills with certifications in UNDSS safety courses and World Bank OP4.12 resettlement guidance to design practical mitigation measures and improve project social outcomes.
