Urban Resilience, Climate Policy, and Delivery Advisor

Oxford MPP. City government advisory, climate delivery, planning instruments, and public-sector implementation diagnostics.

Public institutions rarely fail for lack of ambition.

I work across urban resilience, climate delivery, planning instruments, and public-sector implementation diagnostics.

Recent work has included leading and authoring a 94-page Strategic Portfolio Assessment across 37+ climate interventions for Freetown City Council, producing an Executive Brief to inform the prioritisation strategy of the Mayor's Office, restructuring an informal-settlement area action plan into a more implementation-oriented planning and investment-guidance document, and conducting government-side review of external air-quality and vulnerability assessment deliverables to improve policy usability for city decision-makers.

My work has turned fragmented programme and technical evidence into senior-facing advisory judgments and an institutional foundation for clearer delivery priorities, stronger planning instruments, and more actionable policy responses inside city government.

Portfolio Highlights

Freetown climate portfolio assessment — turning a 37+ intervention portfolio into a leadership-use framework for prioritisation, claims, and acceleration before 2028.

Moyiba area action plan restructuring — transforming a fragmented upgrading draft into a statutory planning text and investment-facing instrument.

Government-side technical-policy review — identifying methodology risks and shaping how FCC could use air-quality evidence for policy response.
