Shirley Kansabe is a public health practitioner with interest and experience in research, advocacy, and implementation of interventions in nutrition and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).  She currently works at Kyambogo University as a Nutrition Research, Learning, and Linkage Officer (Responsible for five districts in South Western Uganda). Through her involvement in several local and international collaborative interventions, she has acquired numerous skills including design thinking, strategy development, critical analysis, and evaluation. She has a keen interest in policy, design, and implementation questions that probe failure to achieve change from interventions. She is dedicated to understanding, promoting, and supporting the role of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) in attaining public health goals, especially for collaborative interventions. She does this by investigating change processes and promoting the use of evidence in intervention design and implementation. In her work, she has won several grants, published peer-reviewed articles, and mentored students, among others. She has also led advocacy campaigns that have yielded national results on nutrition and NCDs.
