Amina K. Email & Phone Number

I lead global partnerships and research in the International Development and Social Impact Sectors. I have been conducting international development and humanitarian research for 20 years. My broader vision is to ensure dignified access to opportunities among marginalized and impoverished populations and geographies. My research has focused mainly on poverty in urban and in crisis contexts, inequality and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (especially 'leaving no one behind'). I have conducted fieldwork with country-based research partners in several parts of Africa and Asia. My strengths included applying a multidisciplinary analytical lens (which is grounded in international development, politics, and sociology) to qualitative and quantitative research methods. My body of work has helped me play a key thought leadership role within responses to current and emerging development challenges and is available on the public domain.I am currently placing intellectual energies in global partnerships and business development especially as these are critical enablers to doing better and more relevant global social research and to driving greater social impact. My stakeholder engagement and project leadership experiences and reputation for building and sustaining partnerships with development and humanitarian actors complements my excellent skills in research design and delivery. These have jointly contributed towards my professional and personal growth and enabled me to see what works in international development, what doesn't, and why in a more holistic way.

Listed skills include Stakeholder Engagement, Strategic Partnerships, Public Speaking, Economics, and 22 others.
