Associate Director of Programmes

Catherine Nakidde Nzesei is the Centre’s Associate Director of Programmes – providing leadership and support to the Programmes Unit across all projects, teams and associates.

Catherine is a public health specialist with graduate training in public health, health promotion and international development. A recipient of the 2022 Commonwealth Scholarship, she embarked on a PhD in public pealth at UCL which is driven by her passion for health system strengthening – and building on previous work around Strengthening Health Professional Regulation in Uganda and Kenya. Catherine’s PhD examines systems and processes for continuous quality improvement of healthcare professional training.

Catherine’s professional interests revolve around leveraging impact from effective systems and empowering vulnerable population categories to enable them to fulfil their potential – whether in a professional, community or personal setting. Some of her previous work has focused on understanding the experiences of refugees and slum dwellers in the COVID-19 pandemic as well as health system resilience. Since inception, Catherine has directly supported for several Centre projects including those on Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH), refugee health and wellbeing, Quality Improvement (QI) and livelihoods.
