Rallying Community: Nguavese Tracy Ogbonna

She is a development worker who works to enhance gender based development priorities in the area of conflict transformation, Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), women’s participation in politics and the promotion of clean cooking for women.

In teaching local communities how to effectively engage with governments and service providers,  Nguavese Tracy Ogbonna also teaches how to prioritise women’s involvement and active participation as critical stakeholders.

Ogbonna’s special focus as a development worker is creating effective communication strategies for development interventions that will empower communities in owning their development priorities for sustainable development.
