PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES (last 10 years)
February 2024: Recipient of the DAAD/Nelga Research Fellowship amounting to Euro 2,010=00 to undertake research on “Gender-Responsive Spatial Analysis of Climate Change Impacts on Land Access in Namibia”. (Two journal articles envisaged to be produced from this research)
Developed comprehensive spatial analysis frameworks to assess climate change vulnerabilities in land governance systems.
Created climate-sensitive indicators for measuring changes in land access, use patterns, and governance under changing climatic conditions.
Designed GIS-based dashboard tools for visualizing climate-land governance relationships and adaptation strategies
Engaged diverse stakeholders including government officials, climate scientists, land administration professionals, and community representatives.
Synthesized quantitative spatial data with qualitative indicators to provide insights on climate-resilient land governance
July 2022: Served as Junior Non-Key Expert drafting Terms of Reference for a land governance mission in Zambia on behalf of the European Union Delegation and Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA). Applied technical writing expertise to develop well-defined Terms of Reference to support the mission’s objectives related to land governance capacity building. Demonstrated strong analytical and writing skills
July 2020: Conducted land use/cover change mapping for climate change emissions reduction efforts in Eastern Province, Zambia, utilizing GIS and remote sensing techniques for environmental monitoring and climate adaptation planning.
May 2019: Assessed land governance in Namibia in line with national agricultural investment plans, gaining policy analysis experience
