Member of the Community Advisory Board (CAB) of Emory University’s Rollins School of Public
Health for the 2011-2012 academic year
From mid 2003 to December 2009, was based at Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as a Guest
Researcher while working with The Carter Center, health programs as a Program Epidemiologist,
Adjunct Professor at Hubert Department of Global Health of Rollins School of Public Health since
mid 2006 to date, mentoring and supervising students’ research and thesis completion as a
requirement for their graduation.
Helped to establishment of onchocerciasis elimination programs in Sudan (2006) and Uganda
(2007) with twice yearly distribution of ivermectin, and/or vector elimination/ targeted vector
control when necessary and where feasible. So far, elimination in Abu Hamad focus in north Sudan
is undergoing assessment in order to verify interruption of transmission. In Uganda, already 4 foci
out of 6 targeted for elimination have already interrupted transmission and 2 recommended for
halting interventions.
Lived and worked in comunities with few resources and inspired them to prioritise and utilize
locally available as well as additionally provided resources in order to attain tangible, positive, and
sustainable impact.
Impact evaluation (quantitatively and qualitatively) has been a major focus of my work.
Advised on integration of LF elimination with onchocerciasis control in Cameroon, and in Uganda,
LF elimination and soil transmitted helminths (STH) control with onchocerciasis
control/elimination.
In 2005, I was presented with The Sheth Distinguished International Alumni Award of Emory
University, given to international graduates who have made outstanding contributions to humanity,
science, art or human welfare
http://www.emory.edu/EMORY_MAGAZINE/summer2005/precis_sheth.htm.
In 2002, was appointed by the Director General of WHO to the Technical Consultative Committee
(TCC) which provides technical advice to the African Programme for Onhocerciasis Control
(APOC). APOC has supported at least 110 onchocerciasis control projects in 19 sub-Saharan
Countries. My term on TCC ended in 2009.
Hosted and participated in two key international meeting held in Uganda that resulted into the
formation of the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) in 1994/5 while I was the
Country Director for River Blindness Foundation that was founded by John Moores and in 1996
absorbed by The Carter Center.
Played an active role in the formation of the Non governmental Development Organisation
(NGDO) Coalition in 1993/4 that later spearheaded the establishment of APOC in December, 1995,
and served as a Chairman for the NGDOs in Uganda from 1993-1996 and 2000 to 2002

Core skills and competencies:
My skills are in program development (planning and management at community, national, international
levels; financial management; and advocacy). I have trained, supervised, and mentored management
teams in operational research, monitoring and impact assessment, and surveillance in Cameroon,
Ethiopia, Nigeria, Sudan, and Uganda. The teams come from Non-governmental development
Organisations (NGDOs), ministries of health, and local universities.
I have worked on various research projects (national and multi-national) with World Health
Organisation (WHO)/Tropical Diseases Research (TDR), Ministries of Health, and the Carter
Center since 1994, and a number of times as a principal investigator.
I have actively been involved in building coalition and networks that have been result oriented.
I have pursued result orientated, cultural appropriate, and financially efficient approaches to program
implementation. A fair amount of my work experience has been published for replication and
educational purposes.
I have played an role in formation and operating in result orientated networks at national and
international levels in partnership with non-governmental development organizations (NGDOs),
relevant government ministries and local government authorities, UN agencies such as World Health
Organization (WHO), World Food programme, and UNICEF. I have also actively been involved in
proposal formulation, and fundraising for the projects I was responsible for, and it is only at The carter
Center I have not directly been involved in fundraising.
I am conversant with Windows, Internet, Email systems, and Microsoft office (word, Excel and
PowerPoint). I use statistical software Epi Info from Center for Disease Control (CDC, Atlanta), and
Epi Data which are free and readily available from internet, and am conversant with the Statistical
Program for Social Scientists (SPSS).
