C4D Focus/Experience

I have worked on participatory research and communications in international development for 17 years, starting with a participatory research project on gender roles and farming systems in Northern Pakistan. Between 1999 and 2012 I worked at Panos London (www.panos.org.uk ) designing and implementing single and multi-country participatory communications projects on several themes including living with HIV and AIDS; internal displacement; and environmental change. Projects involved partnering with national NGOs as well as international agencies such as Save the Children UK, IFAD (http://www.ifad.org/), and IPPF. My specialism is community-based oral testimony, but I also work with other approaches such as photography and video, as well as working with the mainstream media. The work involves running training workshops, supporting partner organisations overseas, and editing and production of a range of outputs (publications, exhibitions, films and online materials)*. Following the closure of Panos London in March 2013, I have established Oral Testimony Works a Community Interest Company to take forward the oral testimony work, and to ensure the archive of Panos’ 20 years worth of oral testimony work continues to be accessible to many as well as inspire new activities.
