Mme. Luize GuimarãesProgramme Manager at MUVA

I’m a development worker with experience in the health sector, social protection, corporate social responsibility, female economic empowerment and programme implementation.

Previously, I worked for a Development Bank, l’Agence française de Developpement (AFD). I was based in Cambodia as the health and social protection programme officer. During this time I was part of the group of donors who founded the Health sector Swap. This experience provided me with a deep understanding of the harmonization and alignment policy and financial dynamics. Based on this experience, while doing my specialization in Health policy and management at HSHP (Harvard School of Public Health), I wrote a case to teach the issue of aid fragmentation, H&A and pool fund agenda in the health sector. The case was successfully implemented across Harvard University and became since then a regular yearly class organized with the support of Aid for Health.

Before being a consultant and working for a donor, I have worked for different NGOs in Mexico, France, Brazil and Cambodia where I supported the setup of a silk fair trade cooperative.
