I am currently seconded to Marie Stopes International (MSI) as the Senior Scientific Advisor on their Reserach, Monitoring and Evaluation team, based in London. This involves support to international and national researchers conducting operational and evaluation studies across MSI programmes. The global team conducts numerous studies aiming to improve the scale, quality and efficiency of reprodutive health service delivery. Topics include post-abortion family planning, task-sharing for contraceptive and/or abortion provision (including to community health workers and pharmacists), quality of care and promotion of long-acting and permanent methods of contraception. I work on the development of reserach strategy and study protocols, quality assurance of the research portfolio, capacity-building of the research team, and results dissemination and reporting. 

I have also been recently working on two research projects at LSHTM. One is a 'contextual analysis' for the ALPHA network, analysing policies and their implementation related to HIV service access across 6 sub-Saharan countries. This research involved a policy review and linked health facility survey. The other is the Integra Initiative, a multi-country study investigating the integration of SRH and HIV services. This study was a partnership between LSHTM, Population Council and the International Planned Parenthood Federation, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. My PhD, which formed one sub-study within Integra, was an in-depth case study comparing four different models of HIV care and treatment (stand-alone and integrated SRH-HIV services) in Swaziland. Areas of focus were contraceptive needs and practices among people living with HIV, use of integrated services, satisfaction with care, and perceptions of HIV-related stigma. The study utilised mixed quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
