I have worked in the public sector, private sector and volunteered in the third sector in analysis, governance, open-source intelligence/research and coordinator roles.
My interest in international affairs stems from my concern for the respect of human rights and a curiosity for world history, economics, development policy and how these fields intertwine. I've greatly enjoyed my work in governance and the opportunities I've had to develop my understanding of the ever-evolving ICT sector.

This analysis, composed with my colleague Chantale Riziki Oweggi, provides a general overview of Oxfam's current position and considers the impact the Covid-19 pandemic could have on the charity. Assessing the environment and industry Oxfam currently operates within has highlighted the challenges broadly NGOs are having in accessing funding. Oxfam's recent scandal has compounded this problem for them, compromising their ability to respond to the pandemic effectively and thus forcing the charity to restructure and withdraw from particular missions. The report indicates a number of risks Oxfam ought to be mindful of in the aftermath of this restructure.
This subsequent analysis considers five key questions which provide direction in tough decision making moments for NGOs in relation to Oxfam in the wake of the pandemic. This paper continues by considering some of the potential ramifications of the more complex geopolitical issues Oxfam may face in the regions they will remain active within.
