About Stephanie

Stephanie is a research intern at the GO Lab and is supporting the development of a global platform for development impact bonds. She is currently doing a Masters in Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government. Before joining the School, she worked with GIZ and the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Arusha, Tanzania on strategy development, multilateral financial diversification, as well as bolstering the domestication of treaties by AU member states. 

She holds a first-class degree in Politics and International Relations from the University of Warwick, with a year abroad at the University of Hong Kong. When she was in Hong Kong (and closely after) she undertook internships in the public and private spheres. This included Clifford Chance and Mckinsey, working on private equity funds and strengthening women in consulting-leadership, the Institute of Justice & Democracy on sexual violence in Haiti and WHO on rural healthcare infrastructure. 

Her interests include strengthening governance and economic diversification to harness Africa's demographic dividend, gender and data-technology. As a UK national, with Nigerian diaspora roots, this extends to reconstructing UK-Africa relations for mutual political-economic development.
