I am a Research Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Corruption (CSC), embedded in the Governance & Integrity, Anti-Corruption Research Evidence (ACE) programme, where I work on the state capture theme.My main research interests concern elite-level corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa and the effectiveness of anti-corruption interventions led from the international development sector. In addition to my own research work, I have provided expert reports and analysis for a range of organisations working on these themes including GIZ, the Natural Resource Governance Institute, Transparency International, the U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre, the UK Home Office, USAID and the World Bank.
