Personal profile
Biography
I am a Lecturer at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (UK) and Director of the Climate, Environment and Health Department at CeSHHAR Zimbabwe. My work spans over a decade of implementation science and climate–health research across Southern Africa, with more than 15 applied studies focused on vulnerable populations and frontline health systems. I am steering foundational processes to embed climate resilience into Zimbabwe’s health governance architecture, laying the groundwork for the country’s first National Climate and Health Strategy and a coordinated Heat–Health Action Plan. I chaired CHAC2024, Africa’s first international climate–health conference, and contributed to the WHO-AFRO Clim-Health Framework. I chair the Evidence-to-Policy Working Group of the Wellcome-funded HeatNexus Consortium, serve as TEC (Training, Engagement, and Coordination) Lead for the NIH HE²AT Centre, and am a member of the Horizon Europe Climate–Health Cluster, working to align research with global policy agendas and scalable integrated adaptation-mitigation interventions.
