I am a graduate of two prestigious UK Universities – the University of Edinburgh and Essex University from which I was awarded an MSc in International and European Politics and a BA in Economics and Politics respectively. I have extensive experience with conducting research funded by various sources such as the United Nations Development Programme and the European Union. I also have extensive experience in producing long reports and studies both through my involvement in the preparation of proposals that are submitted for funding in European funding programmes and my experience in performing socio-economic impact studies. In fact, through the latter, I often perform extensive research on available secondary information and bibliographical references.
