Curriculum Vitae

Paula Morgado

I am an Anthropologist specialised in Critical Medical Anthropology and Global Health with a PhD in African Studies and certified training in Implementation Research and Community Engagement. For over 10 years, I have been working on and with health systems strengthening from top-down and bottom-up approach, conducting ethnographic and implementation research, managing research projects, and mobilising multi-stakeholder networks and community engagement in order to reach consensus in Niger, Burkina-Faso, Senegal and Morocco. I have a vast working experience on several different gender-related research topics, and a strong expertise in conducting policy-oriented research and producing relevant analysis and knowledge on health policy and programmes; health system coordination, bottlenecks and gaps; and research-policy ecosystem. I am very committed with high-quality research results with positive impact and a big advocate of evidence-informed choices and practices at work. I am also well informed about health policies and health system performance and gaps in Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Guinea-Bissau and Angola. I speak fluently in Portuguese, French and English, understand Spanish, and write and read Modern Arabic and Latin. I have a great interest in ethnographic photography. Since 2011, I have been documenting my fieldwork background using both digital and black & white (analogue) photography techniques.
