For the last several months, I’ve had the privilege of directing a new documentary, "Charting New Futures In Africa's Drylands" — following stories in #Kenya, #Nigeria, and #SouthSudan. youtu.be/rhEuZk68LFQ

Did you know the cause of 30% of #Epilepsy cases globally? Check out my recent piece from Uganda for @OHRECA_ILRI youtu.be/0J5QN2lSOOI

A piece I worked on alongside the CKM team at @ILRI on how @iCow_ke's innovative Soil Advocacy Program is harnessing the mobile power of boda-boda riders in Kenya to bring to farmers valuable knowledge on diagnosing and regenerating their farm soils. lnkd.in/dUmW5aM8

Data is key in creating health, nutrition & agricultural policies. A short doc I've produced on an ICT-based platform that collects health data directly from caregivers & PLHIVs in Marsabit & Kilifi in Kenya. youtu.be/vDUUMdapOwY #tech #data #nutrition #agriculture #Health

There is no justification for war. Whether it's from Russia or any country for that matter. The soldiers and civilians from both sides pay a hefty price for the agenda of those in power. #WarIsNotTheAnswer
The body of a Russian soldier lay next to an armored vehicle that Ukrainian soldiers said was Russian, in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Friday. Ukraine’s military was waging a fierce battle to push Russian forces back from the city a day after a vicious fight. nyti.ms/3HrMlKF
Replying to @SEEIntl
@SEEIntl is doing an exemplary job globally helping those who are needlessly blind regain their sight. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to recently document the organization’s amazing work in Ghana.

Excited to have led the documentation in Kenya for this global project by @JNJCares jnj.com/global-community-imp…
These two (the late Alan Donovan & the late Ayub Ogada) were an inspiration. Sad that our documentary film conversation with Alan Donovan about his life will never see the light of the day. Go bold Alan.

Glad to have been part of the team producing this series for @Data4SDGs Besides working on this project, It has been an eye-opening opportunity for me on how serious of a pandemic #AMR is. Engaging with communities is really key in addressing #AMR
Replying to @Data4SDGs
.@Wellcome_AMR's @tjmidega, @Samakech, @KNBStats's Benjamin Avusevwa & Dr Evelyn Wesangula discuss how engaging w/ communities in #Kenya is critical to plugging #AMR data gaps & changing behaviour. 🎥 Find out more about using CGD to #StopSuperBugs: youtube.com/watch?v=qu9cr2Nj…

Information on nutrition is scarce in many of the poorest and most malnourished regions of the world. This short documentary I’ve recently produced for @FANRPAN and @ILRI shows how the organizations are addressing this information deficit. youtu.be/cfBTUlbTRB8
Land-use policies sometimes have unintended consequences. A doc I’ve produced for @ILRI on privatization of land around the Mara-Serengeti in #Kenya & #Tanzania shows how diseases can spread when wildlife, livestock & humans cross into each others' spaces. youtu.be/_Qi0TvyGnns
