Nicholas Odaga

Where I am based: Nairobi, Kenya

What I do: I provide the SDG Kenya Forum with day-to-day support, including monitoring the programme and the grants processes and procedures from inception to completion. I also support programme activities and grants management in line with DI policies and procedures.

Previous experience: Prior to joining DI, I was a project accountant for a Compassion International-aided project in Nairobi, Kenya. I provided educational and training support to over 250 beneficiaries as well as controlling the project finances. In recent years, I have also volunteered for a missionary organisation that helps transform the lives of young people and families living in Kenyan dumpsites through outreach activities.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology, have completed Part 2 of the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) licence, and am currently pursuing an MBA.
