I have proven record of authoring and co-authoring winning grants from prestigious organizations like GCF, GEF, Adaptation Fund, UNDP, CDRI, ADB, and more. I excel at crafting compelling proposals that secure funding for climate change initiatives. I have substantial experience in providing strategic guidance and practical solutions for environmental challenges, conducting impact assessments and developing adaptation strategies. I have substantial experience in offering ecosystem service and multi property/asset valuation to assess the economic value of natural systems. Through my academic background and active research, I make compelling cases for evidence-based policies, while my NbS project development harnesses ecological knowledge, indigenous communities and inclusion of GEDSI to enhance resilience. Additionally, I have several experience in conducting cost-benefit analyses for informed decision-making on climate adaptation and NbS projects.
