Research & Analysis
You want to take a step back to better understand the digital ecosystem that you’re operating in? Or consider people-centred design and programmatic requirements in your digital transformation journey? I’m happy to support you with cross-sectoral analyses, independent studies, reports and papers dealing with data ecosystems in the humanitarian-development sphere, digital identity, digital payments, digital accountability, data exchange and interoperability.
