My interest in development co-operation was raised during my studies in tropical agriculture and rural development. After an initial start in my professional life in flower production in Uganda, I have shifted to rural development.

I have a special interest in rural development and organisational theory, especially the relation between organisational culture, rural development and organisational development and change. Working with rural development professionals, I quickly discovered that the embedding of new techniques within an organisation in a sustainable manner proved to be far more complicated than first thought. This kind of experience has triggered my interests in the functioning of organisations. What excites me is to see how various actors in the development arena are able to organise themselves and bring about change.

I joined MDF in 2007. Previously, I have worked for a small university focussing on rural development. Within this setting I have focussed on organisational culture and behaviour, mainstreaming and change processes and actor network development. I have worked with rural development practitioners in various regions in Africa and South Asia on capacity building in livelihood and stakeholder analysis and HIV/AIDS mainstreaming.
