Head of Researcher at Walinda Lingo; Ethnographer & Policy Consultant across Africa and MAPAs in the global south
Augusta is a 24 year old British – Sierra Leonean policy consultant and researcher working at the intersections of environmental, displacement and indigenous policy.
Seeking to use anthropological and non-traditional research methods to transform global policy priorities, she heads research at Walinda Lingo, a multimedia & ethnographic research consultancy specialising in rural, displaced and indigenous communities across Africa and other Most Affected People and Areas (MAPAs) in the global south.
Her studies with First Nation people across Australia, rural Southern African communities, the Sahel, genocide survivors and the Maasai people of Tanzania have allowed her to consult with UN Institutions, DfID (now FCDO), and the Zambian Ministry for Youth and other stakeholders within international policy and development.
