Helen is a Senior Program Analyst at Sahel Consulting where she supports strategy development, proposal writing, stakeholders’ engagement, and program implementation to help transform Africa’s Agricultural and Nutrition Landscape. She conducts in-depth market research on key value chains such as an Oat Market Study where she comprehensively studied the oat value chain in Nigeria and compiled a report which outlined the existing production dynamics, the market available for oat products, and mapped critical value chain actors.
I lead the Sahel Scholars’ Program (SASP), an initiative focused on investing in the future of the younger generations, where we educate and empower undergraduate students through mentorship, hands-on experience, and scholarship. SASP has reached over 5,400 students across several universities.
Area of Focus
Strengthening of agricultural value chains specifically market access to agricultural produce.
