The Problem
Where public health systems break down
Over nine years operating across global health systems, including outbreak response and M&E frameworks, three defining patterns have emerged.
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 & Epidemiological Investigation
World Health Organization (WHO)
Led active surveillance, contact tracing, and epidemiological investigation across 27 Local Government Areas in Imo State during the Mpox outbreak response. Work directly contributed to IHR core capacity strengthening for outbreak detection and response at subnational level.
Outcomes
- 231 suspected cases investigated across 27 LGAs, achieving 21.2% confirmation rate
- 8% case fatality rate documented; geographic clustering analysis identified 8 high-burden districts
- Findings co-authored into peer-reviewed publication in Advances in Infectious Diseases (2024)
- Surveillance data directly informed national Mpox response strategy and resource allocation
M&E Framework Design for WHO Polio & VPD Programmes
World Health Organization (WHO)
Designed and implemented monitoring and evaluation frameworks across 25 polio and vaccine-preventable disease programmes. Replaced compliance-driven reporting with decision-linked M&E architecture, directly contributing to UHC service coverage monitoring goals and SDG 3 programme accountability.
Outcomes
- Surveillance sensitivity improved by 40%; routine immunisation data quality raised from 54% to 81%
- Zero critical data quality issues achieved during all reporting cycles across 25 programmes
- Automated dashboards delivered evidence directly to WHO and government decision-makers
- Immunisation coverage analysis led to 25% increase in coverage among underserved communities
- 800+ health workers and 2,960 community informants trained, institutionalising national capacity
COVID-19 & Multi-Disease Emergency Surveillance
World Health Organization (WHO)
Directed statewide emergency surveillance for COVID-19, Cholera, and cVPV2 across 13 LGAs. Managed SORMAS digital system integration and led risk communication analytics that exceeded vaccination uptake targets, directly supporting IHR emergency response obligations.
Outcomes
- 53,000+ case investigations coordinated, reducing outbreak confirmation time by 60%
- COVID-19 vaccination dropout rates reduced from 46% to 16% within six months
- SORMAS integration achieved 98% data completeness and 95% accuracy across all disease channels
- 100+ strategic information products produced for donor reporting and policy alignment
- Risk communication analytics reached 2,000+ communities, exceeding vaccination uptake targets
Digital Health Systems Migration & Capacity Building
World Health Organization (WHO)
Led ODK digital data collection migration and DHIS2 system management across multiple states, replacing paper-based workflows and institutionalising real-time health information systems for polio eradication and routine immunisation programmes.
Outcomes
- ODK migration completed with 60+ personnel trained, cutting data latency by 40%
- Social and immunisation intelligence synthesised across 20+ campaigns for evidence-based planning
- Multi-agency strategic planning systems institutionalised across conflict-affected northeastern states
- Real-time analytics infrastructure established supporting national polio eradication operations
