Since then, she has served as a Senior Conservation Adviser for IUCN’s Eastern Africa Regional Office in Nairobi, while conducting independent evaluations and programmatic planning exercises for the Global Environment Facility, the International Finance Corporation, UNEP, WWF International and numerous other NGOs.
