Why is this PhD important for me (for my career, organization or country)

After 22 years working as a technical advisor for Save the Children, this PhD is an opportunity for me to broaden my research knowledge and expertise and take on a new academic challenge. The timing also aligns perfectly with the launch of a new Save the Children led research project, to which my PhD can be attached. This project and PhD will allow me to dive deeper into questions I have been interested in for many years, specifically behavioural drivers and multi-sectoral implementation research. My PhD will also help Save the Children generate more rigorous evidence from its programmes, while contributing to a global gap in evidence around multi-sectoral programming and implementation science. 

Why did i choose HIS PhD program ?

I chose this doctorate programme because of its focus on implementation research; its strong links with the global health community in Geneva;  because it is geared towards working health professionals allowing me to continue my current role with Save the Children; and because it is close to my home, allowing me to engage with the research team and courses face to face.
