Building on two decades in research consulting, and more than 25 years of field experience in the Horn of Africa, Jason has since 2012 undertaken a range of policy and academic research consultancies, focused on political economy issues across the Horn of Africa (mainly Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Somaliland and Kenya). With one foot in academia, as managing editor of the Journal of Eastern African Studies and a Research Associate at the University of Oxford, and the other in policy, as an Associate Senior Researcher on Conflict, Security and Development at SIPRI, Jason has sought projects that would enable him to connect academic and policy research on issues of relevance to the peoples of Northeast Africa.
