Dan Irvine
"After a career managing national programmes and setting global policy, I enjoy currently leading our global health and nutrition work."
My career experience spans years working as an aquaculture extension agent in the rainforests of rural Republic of Congo with the U.S. Peace Corps; managing national programmes in Congo and Zambia, and within government ministries; and working as a consultant providing technical training, assessment and evaluation, grant writing and programme start-up. At World Vision’s U.S. headquarters I directed grant acquisition and management. Currently, as part of the international team, I am highly engaged in global policy setting, and lead World Vision’s engagements with a host of global organisations and bodies include the World Health Organisation, PMNCH, Scaling Up Nutrition, the Ebola Vaccine Deployment Acceptance and Compliance programme, the Global Schistosomiasis Alliance and more.
