\"\"<\/p>\n

I am a social and human security economist with experience across many countries at different stages of development. I work as an independent consultant providing advisory services to national governments on reform of individual social security schemes as well as overall national systems. I have also provided coaching services and individualized learning to social security specialists across many countries. I earlier served in senior positions in the United Nations\u2019 country offices in Iraq, Malaysia, Nepal, Zimbabwe, Egypt, and Argentina and Headquarter offices in New York and Geneva.<\/p>\n

I am a visiting expert at the University of Malaya\u2019s Social Wellbeing Center, Malaysia. I have taught both graduate and undergraduate courses at Balsillie School of International Affairs, Canada, and Lazaridis School of Business and Economics, Canada, and Nottingham University, Malaysia campus. My academic background includes a Doctorate in International Relations (International Development), a Master\u2019s degree in Public Policy (Social Policy Financing), a Master\u2019s degree in Mathematics (Actuarial Science), and a Master\u2019s degree in Economics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
