Master in Cooperation and Development

From Guayaquil to Nairobi: a Master's student on field🌏

With a background in humanitarian response and experience coordinating projects in Ecuador, our student Genesis Gallegos has started her internship in Kenya as part of the final phase of the Master's in Cooperation and Development Master.

She is currently working with the team at World Friends, providing both technical and administrative support to the coordination of three impactful projects focused on maternal and child health in the informal settlements of Nairobi and Kajiado. At the same time, she is engaging directly with communities through field activities, working alongside health workers and women leaders.

Although health was not a sector she had previously worked in, this experience is allowing her to explore it from the ground up. The Kenyan context, so different from Ecuador, is offering valuable lessons that she hopes to bring back to her country.
Genesis is also working under the guidance of Lucia Pincerato, Deputy Regional Coordinator at World Friends and a fellow Master alumna, showcasing the power of professional networks and the interdisciplinary nature of the program.

🌱From the field, Genesis continues to affirm her commitment to building a more just, dignified, and human world.

MASTER AND PROFESSIONAL TOOLS: project design and implementation for development

How do we set up a development project? How do we identify the root causes of the problems we need to address? How do you move from an idea to its implementation? How do we measure the results of our work and its long-term impact? The PCM module, offered by the Master, provides essential tools for working in contexts of poverty and fragility in development.
