Badili Africa’s Board of Directors.
We are proud to officially welcome our newly appointed Board Members at Badili Africa.
Annah Katuki
Annah Katuki is a seasoned Gender Justice Expert with close to two decades of experience shaping gender-transformative policy, programming, and institutional practice globally. She currently serves as Regional Gender Expert at the Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE), where she provides strategic leadership on gender-responsive education programming and girls’ rights advocacy across the region.
A trained anthropologist with a Master of Arts in Gender and Development Studies from the University of Nairobi, Annah has built an exceptional career at the intersection of feminist research, programme evaluation, and policy influence. At Plan International, she provided senior technical leadership on gender and inclusion across a multimillion dollar portfolio across Africa driving feminist participatory evaluations on girls education, climate justice, women’s economic empowerment, and inclusive value chain programming — mobilising millions of resources from bilateral and multilateral donors through rigorous evidence generation.
She has emerged as a recognized voice on Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV), leading groundbreaking research and standard-setting work with UN Women and UNFPA that has shaped how Kenya responds to online violence against women and girls. Her technical contributions in this space include pioneering national guidelines and standard operating procedures — a landmark step toward digital safety and platform accountability for women and girls in the region.
Annah’s expertise spans humanitarian and crisis contexts, where she has led rapid gender and GBV assessments across the Horn of Africa, applying trauma-informed, culturally grounded methodologies that centre survivor voices and strengthen community-based protection systems. Her work in arid and semi-arid settings has deepened understanding of how crisis compounds gender inequality and enabled more responsive, locally owned interventions.
A passionate institution builder, Annah has established communities of practice and centers of excellence focused on girls’ rights, creating platforms where practitioners, young women, and grassroots organizations exchange knowledge and drive collective action. As an independent expert, she continues to provide high-level gender advisory services to bilateral and multilateral partners across the continent.
Annah brings to the Badili Africa Board a rare combination of deep technical grounding, grassroots credibility, and Pan-African reach—anchored in the belief that inclusive governance only becomes real when the voices of women, girls, and marginalized communities sit at the heart of every decision.
