Yes, since the other half of what I do is operations. My understanding at least from the requests from the High Performance Network is that this is an in demand skillset.
I’ve also spoken to a few people on interview about how to effectively work in Africa, or at the very least how to get to a place where you can do a trial project. I wouldn’t be in EA if I didn’t want to help people, I just wish we were a bit more effective at it as a government.
For instance: there’s been times when Teams I’ve trained have the skills but not the funding to do something that the host nation needs, whereas the Italian Civil Affairs or CIMIC team had the funding so we just asked them if they wanted it.
Do you have any thoughts on how you could apply the skills and career capital you’ve acquired towards EA causes?
