Mokeira Nyagaka

Where I am based: Nairobi, Kenya

What I do: As part of the Research & Analysis team, I primarily conduct analysis on public finance. This equips decision-makers and other stakeholders to promote equity, accountability and improve the lives of people experiencing marginalisation and vulnerability.

Previous experience: I previously worked with International Budget Partnership (IBP) Kenya where I led capacity development of civil society organisations and government officials on the public budget-making process.

As the Capacity Building & Learning Officer, I developed curricula and training modules, as well as training other trainers and conducting continuous capacity needs assessments. I conducted research and budget analysis on public deliberations of budgets and equitable distribution of resources at the national and county level.

I led subnational engagements and partnerships, working extensively in the health and water subsectors. At IBP Kenya I led the planning, monitoring evaluation and learning framework, and established mechanisms of generating citizen-led data, using offline/online platforms for budget advocacy.
