I retired from Public Service effective on 29th July 2022, and currently am an independent consultant, with social responsibilities in training and mentoring some development actors, in line with my passion. For 40 years of my professional life in service, I served in the socio-economic development field, in governmental and non-governmental institutions (International and National), and the first two years of entrance into the career path as a high school teacher. I have been in the Social Protection domain, as the head, since 2003 up to my retirement date. My country-specific experience has been typically the East Africa (Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya) where I have served in different capacities.
