[ EXPERTISE ]
Three worlds rarely meet in one career: the community savings group, the bank and the committee room. I've worked in all three, so I can translate between them.
[ Organisations behind the work ]
Trained at Carsey School of Public Policy, University of New Hampshire and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology
For Parliament, government & oversight bodies
Rigorous, readable analysis that helps decision-makers ask the right questions, and act on the answers.
For NGOs, funders & development partners
From the first community meeting to a bank account, built with the people they serve.
For banks, SACCOs & fintechs
Know-how from both sides of the counter: a banker's grounding and a community organiser's reach.
