Margaret Muthama
Margaret Muthama is a Gender Specialist with over 13 years of progressively responsible experience in providing state and non-state actors with technical advice to develop and implement transformative policies and programmes on peace and security that seek to realise SDG 5 on Gender Equality and SDG 16 on Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions in conflict and post conflict settings.
