He is a visiting professor with the School of Health Systems and Public Health, University of Pretoria. From 2001 to 2014 he spearheaded investigation in support of multi-sectoral malaria control policy-making in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. During this period, he coordinated research under the System-wide Initiative on Malaria and Agriculture to promote holistic understanding of complex linkages between socio-ecological systems and human health, overseeing implementation of projects in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. He has served as a consultant to the World Health Organization and other international bodies on integrated vector management. He holds a PhD in medical entomology from the University of Nairobi. Born and raised in the rural central Kenyan highlands, his childhood straddled the heady pre- and post-independence era whose optimism peaked in the 1960s. From an early age he delighted in story-telling, stemming from his innate ability to keenly observe his immediate surroundings and vividly analyze interpersonal interactions. He has been married to Joy for 30 years and together they have raised two daughters, Waihiga and Noni.view less
