Biography

An Associate Professor of Community Health and Development, I hold PhD and Master’s Degrees in Community Health and Development from Great Lakes University of Kisumu (GLUK). For the last 20 years I have worked with the University rising in rank from departmental head to directorship positions both for the Tropical Institute of Community Health and Development (TICH) and Programs Director to the current position of Dean – School of Community Health and Development at GLUK.

I specialize in health systems capacity building, research and community development. I have vast experience in engaging with health systems program development, capacity building and research activities for over 20 years within Kenya and beyond focusing on improving performance of health system through evidence-based decision making, planning and action including networking, lobby and advocacy and resource mobilization. This, I have undertaken at international, regional, national and county levels. A key element has been the development of community-based information system as a diagnostic tool for identification of health problems to guide timely decisions and actions.

As part of community development work, I participated in developing and testing a number of models for facilitating achievement of universal access to Essential Elements of Dignified Livelihoods with over 30 publications.

I have led and participated in several researches in the area of community health and development and Health Systems Development in Kenya and outside. I have extensive experience in qualitative and quantitative community health and development research with particular focus on Community Based Health Service Provision Strategies. I have special interest in the area of community-based health and development with special focus on disadvantaged groups, health systems, health economics and health care financing.
