About me

Who I am
Enthusiastic

I'm a Senior Planner at Uganda's National Planning Authority (NPA). My work sits at the crossroads of development economics, strategic planning, and public policy. Whether I'm modelling Uganda's macroeconomy, reviewing a district's five-year development plan, or advising on continental governance frameworks, the goal is always evidence-based decisions that move Uganda forward.
