Kyla Stockdale
GAIN Senior Project Manager, mNutrition Initiative
Tanzania
Kyla has worked on agricultural and food security development projects in Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania, working to change the behaviour of small holder farmers. Having worked in Iringa, Tanzania for several years she saw first hand that farmers were ready and willing to make changes with the appropriate resources at their disposal (inputs and finance). However, these same individuals, who doubled their farm productivity and enhanced their household food security, still suffered from poor nutrition. This led her to complete a Graduate Certificate in International Nutrition Delivery Sciences at Tuft's University. As part of the mNutrition project, she works to embed behaviour change communications in mobile health and mobile agricultural services. Always seeking further skills and education, she is pursuing an Msc in Nutritional Epidemiology at Wageningen University.
