Short introduction
I hold a Ph.D. in Cultural and Social Anthropology and have 27 years of experience in international development & emergency and relief work, including over nine years of field-experience. My experience covers women´s human rights & gender equality, gender and diversity audits, the (human) rights-based approach to development, women´s economic empowerment in post-conflict settings and the women-peace and security agenda, as well as anti-discrimination.
I have excellent knowledge in participatory qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis, quality performance assessment, design of training curriculum & material & workshop facilitation skills, and gender sensitive evaluation and participatory gender & diversity audits. I have undertaken work for INGOs in the North and South, the UN system, EU Commission, bilateral governments in the North and South and intergovernmental organizations such as IOM in more than twenty countries worldwide.
