I am the Project Coordinator for the UKRI GCRF Living Deltas Hub , a multi million pound project led by Newcastle University, focusing on three major deltas in Asia, the Red River, Mekong and the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna. The Hub operates on a model of equitable partnership, with delta-dwellers and the research community working together. The Hub will develop new knowledge and policies that will safeguard delta futures through more resilient communities and sustainable development. Working with a range of partners both in the UK and globally (including 22 DAC-list partners), I am responsible for effective administration, coordination and reporting of financial, governance and administrative processes across the project of the UKRI GCRF Living Deltas Hub, ensuring that the Hub’s obligations to funders and project partners are met.
