Other Comments

Since gender and development is an interdisciplinary, inter-sectoral sector,I am interested in most areas of development with emphasis on micro-credit, women's political representation and AIDS campaign.I am currently seeking a grant to do a field research on my MA dissertation on women's political participation in Uganda and on an AIDS project in Nigeria.

I have participated in many media discussion programmes and written widely on gender and development issues.

My concern for mainstreaming women's issues in national development is high on my future agenda to enter participatory politics.
