I engage with MPs, policymakers, organizations, and institutions to further the goals of the One Campaign, which centers around five key themes: Food Insecurity (strengthening food security), Fund the Future (fighting extreme poverty and energy and climate justice aid through economic support), Global Health (eradicating preventable diseases by 2030), UK Aid (urging the UK to reverse the 2021 cuts on aid), and Climate Solidarity (ensuring the voices of the most affected people are heard and advocating for climate action, including securing $10 billion towards climate adaptation). I pursue these objectives through advocacy, research, activism, community engagement, among other available means.I spearhead events in collaboration with Organizations like the Commonwealth Secretariat where MPs, and Prospective Parliamentary Candidates share their plans and global aid and development agendas to scholars across different constituencies. I also facilitated activities where scholars shared their thoughts and insights for the forthcoming MPs to take into account while in office. I was privileged to represent all YAs across the UK in sharing all YA post-election activities with policymakers, MPs, PPCs, local communities, scholarly associations, at the ONE Campaign General Global All staff meeting.

As a member of the Loss and Damage Working group under the UNFCCC Youth coalition - YOUNGO, I was part of a core research team for research projects aimed at reviewing the Exacerbated Effect of Climate Change-Induced Loss and Damage and Adaptation Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa and also preparing policy briefs. The project also aims at evaluating the adaptation capacity in the area of study, outlining the distinction between loss and damage and adaptation systems also around our area of study. We are also developing a loss and damage framework.

These podcasts foster insightful conversations with experts and professionals, all dedicated to addressing contemporary and emerging global challenges.This collaboration not only highlights the impactful work of Commonwealth Scholars but also serves as a platform for young scholars to amplify their voices and contribute to solving critical global issues. I'm proud to have contributed to building this bridge that supports knowledge exchange and the collective efforts towards a better future.
