Founder & Lead Consultant

Mathilde Belli

With 8+ years of experience in international development and humanitarian aid, I specialize in gender-based violence, gender equality, protection of human rights & safeguarding.

I have collaborated with international non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations (IOs), the United Nations (UN), governments and universities in the capacity of Expert, Specialist, Technical Advisor, Country Coordinator, Program Manager and Consultant.

Throughout my career, I have worked along the humanitarian-development-peace nexus: at the forefront of acute emergencies like the Sahel or Lake Chad Basin in Africa or the Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Asia, in protracted crises like Central African Republic, but also on development programs in countries like Senegal and Bangladesh and on the European migration crisis in Greece.

I am passionate about my work and I look forward to support you in achieving gender equality, eradicating gender-based violence, upholding human rights, and safeguarding within your organisation and for your beneficiaries and clients.

I am fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Italian and have worked in and on Africa, Asia, the Middle-East, Europe and North/South America.
