Joseph Chege is a Kenyan development professional with over 15 years of experience across rural development, food security, climate resilience, and environmental and social safeguards. He has worked extensively in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond with organizations such as USAID and currently the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), where he contributes to environmental, social, and climate risk management and development effectiveness.

I am passionate about development impact assessment and evidence-based policy, and through the MESCI programme I aim to deepen quantitative and analytical skills to better inform decision-making, strengthen development effectiveness, and enhance the quality of international cooperation interventions.
