Sagal Ambrose
@sagalambrose
Research-focused NGO professional with 4+ years in fieldwork, data collection, and peacebuilding advocacy.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven, community-oriented professional with over 4 years of experience in research, fieldwork, and NGO operations across Karamoja and Turkana regions. I combine data collection with strong community engagement to support advocacy and peacebuilding outcomes.
In cross-border work with LOKADO, I conducted interviews and surveys, collected and analyzed field data, and supported report writing. I’ve also worked as a Research & Advocacy Volunteer with Karamoja Herders of the Horn, assisting in reporting and documentation while engaging communities through mobilization and peacebuilding.
My field experience includes enumerator roles with LSE & Gulu University—where I facilitated focus group discussions and conducted interviews with local leaders—and the Trachoma Public Health Program, where I conducted household and school interviews and observed hygiene practices and facilities.
I bring practical public administration support from my Administrative Intern role with Rupa Sub-County, including record keeping and office administration. I’m motivated to apply my research, conflict resolution awareness, and multimedia communication skills to public health programs, cross-border initiatives, and community-centered development work.
