Personal profile

Overview

My work focuses on aid effectiveness and on the political economy of public sector reform, with an emphasis on anti-corruption issues in Sub-Saharan Africa. Beyond research, I do a little bit of work part-time as a consultant on political-economy analysis and adaptive management for development organizations. I am also the designer and convenor of the Global Development Institute's postgraduate module on Policy Analysis.
