I’ve almost two decades work experience, spanning across the public sector, in: development; planning; strategy; anti-corruption initiatives; programme / project management; capacity building; wealth generation; and policy initiatives. I’ve an MSc in Defence and Strategic Studies as well as two Postgraduate Diplomas in Education and Management.
