Professional Experience:
I am a highly experienced development and governance professional with over 15 years of progressive leadership in health systems strengthening, humanitarian response, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional development in Uganda. I currently serve as Executive Secretary/Coordinator of the Uganda Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) for the Global Fund, where I provide strategic leadership and oversight for national HIV, TB, and malaria programmes, as outlined in my CV attached.
Since October 2022, I have led the CCM Secretariat, supervising a multidisciplinary technical team and coordinating governance, oversight, and stakeholder engagement structures. In this role, I have spearheaded major institutional reforms, including the review of the CCM Governance Manual, Oversight Committee Terms of Reference, and strategic planning processes, ensuring alignment with Global Fund and international accountability standards
I have played a central role in mobilizing and managing large-scale donor resources, contributing to successful funding applications exceeding USD 1.1 billion for HIV, TB, malaria, and COVID-19 responses. This includes coordinating national funding requests, facilitating endorsement processes, and strengthening partnerships with Principal Recipients, government institutions, and development partners
In strengthening grant oversight and risk management systems, I led the revision of the CCM Oversight Plan, developed standardized reporting tools, and established internal risk management frameworks. He has supported the Ministry of Finance and TASO as Principal Recipients through technical assistance, capacity building, and performance review mechanisms, enhancing transparency, value for money, and results-based management
Previously, as Oversight Officer under the CCM Evolution Initiative (2019–2022), I led reforms to enhance CCM effectiveness across oversight, engagement, and internal functioning. I introduced data-driven monitoring tools, trained CCM members on grant management, coordinated joint field missions, and strengthened co-financing tracking systems, contributing to improved grant performance and donor confidence
My earlier experience includes serving as Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Manager for the Youth Livelihood Programme at the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, where he developed national M&E systems, coordinated large-scale evaluations, and strengthened inter-ministerial collaboration. He also held senior MEAL roles with Caritas Uganda and Lutheran World Federation, supporting humanitarian and refugee response programmes funded by major international donors including UNHCR, ECHO, BPRM, and CLWR.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong capacity in institutional governance, fiduciary oversight, stakeholder coordination, and results-based management. I have led inclusive engagement processes, facilitated civil society participation, integrated community feedback mechanisms, and promoted safeguarding and accountability standards in line with donor requirements
I have extensive experience in strategically engaging civil society organizations, faith-based institutions, community-based organizations, and key population networks to strengthen inclusive participation in national health and development processes. I have coordinated constituency elections, developed constituency engagement plans, and led capacity-building initiatives for civil society representatives to enhance effective representation and accountability within the CCM. I spearheaded the piloting of Community-Based Monitoring tools to integrate community feedback into grant oversight and supported the meaningful inclusion of youth, refugees, and marginalized groups in governance structures. Through these efforts, I have strengthened community ownership, transparency, and alignment of donor-funded programmes with grassroots priorities.
