Linda Ahimbisibwe
Research Manager
Linda joined The Research People in 2019 to support the growing team’s operations and co-ordinate research activities (like organising FGDs and logistics for fieldwork). Since joining, her role has changed twice to enable her to take on more responsibilities and leadership in conducting research, monitoring and evaluation.
In the last three years, Linda has worked on 15 projects and led three. These included: ALNAP’s 2022 State of the Humanitarian System report where she coordinated the fieldwork in Bangladesh and Ethiopia; UNHCR and GSMA Foundation's research on the Digital Worlds of Displacement Affected Communities; and evaluations of Theirworld’s innovation awards and MIT D-Lab’s Creative Capacity Building programmes in Uganda and South Sudan among others. Her work on these projects included managing and mentoring Research Associates, development of research and evaluation tools, data collection (remote and in-person), and analysis, including the use of analysis software MaxQDA and Tableau, project management and report writing. What she enjoyed most about her work at The Research People was the diversity in clients and working within a positive environment that nurtured friendships as much as it did researchers.
Before joining The Research People, Linda managed a project to distribute energy saving stoves in western Uganda, led content creation and operations for a human rights NGO and conducted research on fuel efficiency with Uganda’s Ministry of Energy.
Linda is looking for a role that will enable her to utilise the research and evaluation skills she has developed while challenging her to learn and grow her skills. Linda enjoys working collaboratively, learning from others and refining processes.
