communities.

She has extensive experience of managing research, development projects and evaluations among hard to access populations for NGOs like Action Aid, Danish Demining Group, CARE, Tiri and Norwegian People’s Aid, as well as bilateral donor agencies and international bodies like DFID and the UN.

Martine’s work has a particular thematic focus on the space between development and security, most especially population displacement, the role of civil society and local governance, access to justice, gender, youth, marginalisation and radicalisation.
