Sikute Brian Kandala

I am seasoned Public Health practitioner with a strong background in WASH and Nutrition, I bring a wealth of experience in driving integrated, multisectoral health programs. I have aquired skills and knowledge in WASH for the past Eleven (11) years in Water quality monitoring and testing and WASH methodologies (CLTS,SLTS,PHAST and V-WASH) at District and Community level .In additional to that, over the past three years, I have also coordinated Eight (8) government ministries (MOH,MOA,MCDSS,MOE, MWDSEP,MFL, MLGH and MoGreen Economy) in the implementation of Scaling Up Nutrition programs(SUNII), where I led multisectoral planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and program backstopping across district, ward, and zonal levels. My work has involved regular coordination meetings at the district level and in 18 wards on a monthly and quarterly basis, ensuring alignment and support for effective program delivery.

My experience spans project planning and implementation across diverse sectors, including WASH, Climate-Smart Agriculture, Women and Youth Empowerment, School Health, and Mother and Child Health Nutrition. Additionally, I have driven community-centered programs such as mother support groups , Saving groups and nutrition programs within the Eight (8) government sectors, engaging stakeholders at multiple levels to build sustainable health improvements.

Skilled in data analysis and M&E, I leverage DHIS2, eIDSR, STATA, and SPSS to provide accurate monitoring, reporting, and insights for program adjustments.

I am passionate about advancing public health through data-driven and collaborative approaches, and I welcome opportunities to connect with organizations and institutions in this vital field.
