Dr. Fiona Wairimu Ngarachu, Post-doctoral research fellow
Fiona works on the BRECcIA project in Kenyatta University under the policy and capacity building theme. The key focus in her current role is to undertake research that helps us to understand policy making agendas, processes and mechanisms concerning food and water security in Kenya, Malawi and Ghana. Fiona is also the Kenya stakeholder country coordinator working with a number of partners to ensure that stakeholder priorities are integrated within the project. One of the ways Fiona is doing this is by responding to identified policy makers’ needs for capacity around food and water security policy by conducting a capacity needs assessment as well as co-designing an intervention to address the policy makers’ capacity gaps.
