RESEARCH

My research focuses on the role of the third sector in international development, specifically looking at the institutional and contextual factors that impact development outcomes in the Global South. My research interests include collaborative governance, global finance, social enterprises, and economic development. The goal of my research and capacity-building activities is to provide empirical evidence and technical capacity required for full adoption of the principles of demand-driven development which would ultimately lead to greater success in development outcomes.
