Anne has expertise and vast experience in statistics and data analysis, social justice, health research and community development.
She is passionate about converting data into easy-to-understand information, while also helping others understand statistical concepts and data analytical techniques for various needs.
Anne’s statistical skills have come in handy in health research programmes and community development programmes within and outside of Kenya that she has been engaged in for over a decade. As a data analyst with Kenya Medical Research Institute in the Pneumococcal Vaccine Research she pioneered the vaccines’ monitoring for 3years in Kilifi County in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, to pave the way for the vaccines’ introduction in Kenya. Her statistical and data skills have also come in handy in monitoring and evaluation for a Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programme in three Kenya rural communities of Kitui, Makueni and Machakos counties, reaching over 30 schools and the communities around them.
Anne has also acquired skills in projects management over time and is currently managing response to modern slavery and human trafficking in a multinational institution in 17 countries in Africa, through the implementation of an international strategy that incorporates the UN responses to human trafficking and an additional four responses contextualized for the region, with an aim of engaging, encouraging, and equipping them to better respond to trafficking and international repatriation.
She is also a strong advocate of community led interventions where community members take lead in coming up with solutions to their own problems. She was the team lead in an Anti-Human trafficking programme in 7counties in Kenya where she was instrumental in leading coordination and collaboration efforts in the country for actors in Counter Trafficking in the Country. She also spearheaded prevention programmes in 60 schools and their surrounding communities using existing structures such as children clubs and ‘Nyumba Kumi’ – Community policing.
Under her watch, she pioneered together with other four organizations to form and launch Stop The Traffik-Kenya network, an affiliate of Stop The Traffik Global. The Stop The Traffik-Kenya https://stopthetraffik.or.ke has since gone ahead to have various national and regional forums on counter trafficking.
