As the senior FCDE representative in Uganda, Sylvia has been with the organization since inception in 2011. She has more than 14 years of experience with nonprofit organizations and is passionate about sustainable development through empowering grassroots community groups. A strong believer in positive thinking and team building, she regularly engages her staff in consensus-building exercises and values the power of mentorship, collaborative communication, and spearheading strong leaders. She is energized by the Local Partner Organizations who are championing sustainable development in the communities they serve.

Outside work, she enjoys spending time with her son, reading and dancing to good music (We can dance!). Also ask her about soccer, a game she has loved since childhood. Sylvia can be reached at sylvia@fcde-dev.org.
