Doctoral Candidate, University of Bolton.
I am a PhD student at the University of Bolton, undertaking a doctoral degree by research. I am analyzing state and non-state actors' approaches to climate change interventions in Zambia. Basically trying to investigate the stakeholder-coordination nexus and bring out valuable lessons for public policy, in general, and Africa's sustainability in view of climate change, specifically.
My current field of work revolves around development planning and public policy. But I have an interest in other topical issues such as politics (and the science behind it) and media.
I am also a Theologian in the making. Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, USA, was gracious enough to offer me a distance learning opportunity; so I am slowly chasing after an MA in Systematic Theology.
I hope I haven't forgotten to also mention that I am a trained computer programmer... I am supposed to get machines to do stuff for us. But haven't done much programming in recent years!
