Partnerships Support Specialist

Douglas manages the design and delivery of partnership engagements, stakeholder coordination, and strategic initiatives across ACG’s national, regional, and global platforms. He plays a central role supporting institutional clients and partners including the African School of Governance and the Rwanda Food Innovation Partnership – developing stakeholder ecosystems, coordinating complex governance structures, and helping incubate priority programmes through strategic partnerships, leadership engagements, and high-level convenings.

Prior to ACG, Doug spent five years at AGRA, building deep expertise in governance, partnerships, and institutional effectiveness – from Board governance and executive-level support to multi-country food systems initiatives. With over a decade of professional experience, he brings a nuanced understanding of what it takes to translate strategic ambition into coordinated, sustainable impact.
