Our Advisors
MFRS does not view an advisory panel as a collection of names for a website. An advisor should bring experience that helps us question an approach, strengthen a study, understand a sector better, or avoid a mistake before it reaches the field.
Public Health, Health Systems & Research
The profile below reflects the professional experience relevant to the advisory role. The advisor’s name and photograph will be published only after formal consent.

NAME TO BE PUBLISHED AFTER CONSENT
A public health and health systems professional with more than fifteen years of experience across government health programmes, programme management, monitoring and evaluation, community health, NGO-led development programmes, digital health, stakeholder coordination and applied research.
His professional experience brings together two sides of public health work that are often handled separately: programme implementation in the field and the systems, data and institutional coordination needed behind it.
He has worked on state- and district-level public health programmes involving reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health, non-communicable diseases, family planning, nutrition, adolescent health, early childhood development and community-based health interventions.
His experience also includes programme planning and budgeting, government coordination, monitoring frameworks, field supervision, data review, regulatory implementation, stakeholder engagement, training and capacity building, proposal development and technical documentation.
Alongside programme implementation, he has worked with applied research and digital-health initiatives involving research tools, standard operating procedures, implementation guidelines, community engagement approaches, electronic health systems and multidisciplinary teams.
For MFRS, the value of this background is practical. It provides experienced sector input when a public-health assignment requires more than field deployment alone — particularly where research design, health-system context, programme monitoring, government processes, community engagement and interpretation of field findings need to work together.
Experience that moves between policy, programmes and the field.
His career has included work with government health systems, development organisations, community programmes, monitoring and research teams, as well as technology-led health initiatives.
15+ years in public health
Experience across public health programmes, health systems, programme management, NGO operations, community mobilisation, monitoring, research and health-sector administration.
State & district systems
Worked with health departments, district administrations, programme managers, frontline health workers and development partners on implementation, monitoring and coordination.
Research & digital health
Experience with research tools, SOPs, data systems, monitoring dashboards, health information platforms and technology-supported public health implementation.
A career built across implementation, monitoring and research.
Rather than reproduce a complete employment history, the points below highlight the parts of his experience that are most relevant to MFRS’s research, monitoring and public-health work.
State-level public health programme management
Managed and monitored public-health programmes at state level, including RMNCH+A, non-communicable diseases, family planning, maternal and child health, nutrition and related health-system interventions. Work included programme planning, financial planning, expenditure monitoring, district coordination, programme reviews and interpretation of health indicators.
Monitoring, evaluation & health information
Worked with multiple health information and reporting systems, programme indicators and administrative datasets, including triangulation of information from different sources to support monitoring, programme reviews and evidence-based corrective action.
Regulatory & programme compliance
Experience supporting implementation, monitoring and stakeholder orientation relating to public-health legislation and programme compliance, including work around the PC & PNDT framework, MTP regulations and quality-related health-system processes.
Community health, nutrition & early childhood programmes
Led large community-based programmes covering child health, nutrition, early childhood development, adolescent health, reproductive health and family-planning awareness, including supervision of extensive field teams and multi-block operations.
Large field-team supervision
Has managed field structures involving a large multi-level field team, with responsibility for day-to-day operations, supervision, performance monitoring, capacity building and programme delivery across large numbers of community service locations.
Research, M&E & programme learning
Experience supporting research and monitoring frameworks, coordination of data collection, data-quality processes, documentation, field monitoring, programme assessment and dissemination of findings for programme improvement.
Digital health systems
Worked extensively in the health-technology domain, including digital health workflows, health-management information systems, monitoring dashboards, hospital-related applications and implementation requirements linked to national digital-health standards.
Multidisciplinary team leadership
Has provided strategic and technical leadership to multidisciplinary teams, including a a multidisciplinary technology team, with responsibility for implementation, coordination, delivery, user adoption and stakeholder communication.
Training & capacity building
Designed, coordinated and facilitated Training of Trainers, structured trainings, orientation programmes and capacity-building activities for health personnel, government functionaries, programme teams and community-level stakeholders.
Government & stakeholder coordination
Extensive experience working with government departments, district administrations, public-health officials, development partners, NGOs, healthcare professionals, community institutions and other programme stakeholders.
Where this experience can strengthen our work.
The advisory role is intended to provide sector depth where MFRS requires experienced public-health and health-systems perspective.
Reviewing whether a proposed study reflects the realities of the health system, programme and respondent group being studied.
Providing input on monitoring frameworks, indicators, field evidence, programme interpretation and practical evaluation approaches.
Reviewing research instruments, implementation processes, standard operating procedures and field documentation where sector expertise is useful.
Helping project teams understand how programme design, government systems, facilities, frontline workers and community structures interact in practice.
Advising on approaches involving community mobilisation, stakeholder engagement, frontline functionaries and vulnerable or programme-specific respondent groups.
Helping distinguish between a number that looks unusual and a programme or health-system issue that deserves further investigation.
Input on investigator training, supervisor orientation, implementation guidance and preparation for technically sensitive public-health assignments.
Providing practical perspective where projects involve public systems, programme guidelines, district or state coordination, regulatory environments or government stakeholders.
Formal education supporting field and systems experience.

An advisor should change how we work, not just how we look.
- Genuine involvement, not a borrowed name. We list an advisor because their experience can contribute to actual work — through review, guidance, questioning assumptions or helping the project team understand a sector more clearly.
- Advice does not replace project responsibility. MFRS remains responsible for the assignments it accepts. Advisors strengthen selected areas of work; they are not used to create the appearance that every assignment is personally led by them.
- Sector expertise should match the assignment. Public-health advice is useful for public-health work. Other sectors may require different advisors in research methodology, statistics, agriculture, education, finance, technology or other specialist areas.
- Small by design. We would rather build a small advisory panel whose contribution we understand than publish a long list of names for appearance.
- Consent comes before publication. A person’s name, photograph, professional profile or advisory association is not published by MFRS until that association is confirmed.
More advisors, when the expertise and relationship are real.
As MFRS expands into different types of assignments, the advisory panel may grow around genuine technical needs rather than around a target number of profiles.
Research Methodology
Study design, sampling, mixed methods, research protocols and interpretation.
Statistics & Data
Statistical methods, analytical frameworks and technically demanding evaluation work.
Sector Specialists
Agriculture, education, livelihoods, rural development and other sectors as assignments require.
Systems & Compliance
Legal, governance, finance, information-security and other specialist areas where independent guidance is useful.
Advisory association does not imply employment or directorship.
Advisors may support MFRS in specific technical or strategic areas while remaining professionally independent. Their advisory role is separate from the company’s board, employment structure and project-specific staffing unless separately stated.
