The Problem
Where public health systems break down
After nine years inside these systems, at WHO, across disease outbreaks, through M&E cycles, three failure patterns repeat.
Health data exists. But it rarely drives decisions.
Programmes generate reports. Dashboards get built. Yet the feedback loop between data and programme adjustment remains broken. M&E becomes a compliance exercise rather than a decision tool.
Surveillance signals arrive too late.
Outbreak detection depends on systems that are slow, fragmented, and under-resourced. By the time data reaches decision-makers, the window for early intervention has already closed.
Digital tools get deployed but not sustained.
Technology adoption without systems thinking creates dependency without capability. Platforms are launched, then abandoned, leaving programmes weaker than before.
Health systems work, programme by programme
Specific programmes and initiatives across disease surveillance, M&E design, and digital health implementation.
Mpox Outbreak Surveillance
World Health Organization (WHO)
Led active surveillance and contact tracing across 27 Local Government Areas in Imo State during the Mpox outbreak response. Collected, validated, and analysed epidemiological data to guide response decisions.
Outcomes
- 231 suspected cases investigated across 27 LGAs
- 49 confirmed cases identified, achieving 21.2% confirmation rate
- Findings co-authored into a peer-reviewed publication in Advances in Infectious Diseases
- Surveillance data informed national Mpox response strategy
M&E Framework Design for WHO Programmes
World Health Organization (WHO)
Designing and implementing monitoring and evaluation frameworks for multi-sector public health programmes across Nigeria. Building data infrastructure that links programme indicators directly to strategic decisions.
Outcomes
- M&E frameworks designed for multiple active WHO programmes
- Automated dashboards replacing manual reporting across programme areas
- National health information system data quality improved
- Evidence-based reports delivered to WHO and government decision-makers
Trusted by the institutions building Africa's health future
Nine years of work across global health, surveillance, and programme evaluation.
