I am currently working at UNICEF Mozambique as Communication for Development Specialist since January 2012. My contacts are masani@unicef.org and/or +258 825187350.

In Mozambique, I have been focusing my work in launching a robust entertainment-education programme through the design of a e-e radio novel on Facts for Life, the development of a Music for Life Album in partnership and the launch of several ICT4D initiatives. I am also providing technical assistance to the National AIDS Council on HIV prevention and supporting several capacity building interventions to strengthen the capacity of the Institute of Social Communication and the MoH’s Health Promotion Department.

From 2008 to 2011, I served at UNICEF Angola, being responsible for the development of several strategies around Facts for Life, engaging with faith based organizations to support vulnerable families with high impact behaviours, mobilizing communities to achieve polio eradication and support the country programme through the participatory development of communication interventions and materials.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications Sciences from the University of Bologna, Italy and a Master’s degree in Social Anthropology from the University Complutense of Madrid. During his bachelor’s studies, he enrolled in two international exchange programmes with the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain and the Federal University of Belo Horizonte in Brazil.
