About
With 40 years experience in the Central African Republic, I’ve learned how to design programs that function in sub-saharan Africa. I’ve learned the importance of understanding the culture in order to implement a long-lasting solution, that’s supported by the local population. Although most of my work experience has been in the Central African Republic, I’ve also worked in the DRC, Cameroon, Chad, South Sudan, and Sierra Leone.
