Tell us about yourself: Previously with Save the Children International.
My passion is seeing a holistic child intervention that addresses growth and the development for the first 1,000 days of life through to 36 years of growth and development. When this stage of growth and development is handled very well, many health challenges that children face can be solved.
What can we do to advance the 2030 Agenda? Bringing in many more stakeholders on board, especially policymakers, Ministries of Health, Education, Gender, and social development, plus development agencies and individuals who care about children's wellbeing. In other words, we need to increase our advocacy!
Personally, how have you found the Task Force useful to your work? It is quite engaging and its form of knowledge sharing has opened my eyes to do more on improving my approach on handling issues that affect children.
