Christine Nyaga

Providing strategic, technical, and operational leadership for school focused nutrition programmes, including design, planning, budgeting, implementation oversight, partner coordination monitoring, and donor reporting. My work focuses on strengthening the capacity of national , county governments and implementing partners to manage multisectoral programs.

I am a passionate Leader in Food and Nutrition programming currently working as the Senior Program Manager for Adolescent and Women’s Health and Nutrition at Nutrition International. With a background in nutrition and project management, I bring over 14 years of experience leading integrated food and nutrition programs across diverse contexts—from urban and peri-urban settings to rural and arid regions. My leadership is deeply rooted in lived experience having walked alongside communities through both development and humanitarian settings, witnessing firsthand the complex realities that shape household food choices. My approach is not just to manage programs; but to build systems, nurture partnerships, and empower people. Throughout my career, I have championed multisectoral linkages—connecting nutrition outcomes to agriculture, income generation, and women’s empowerment. I have led initiatives that integrate nutrition-sensitive and specific interventions. My leadership journey is defined by my ability to listen deeply, lead boldly, and connect across sectors and communities. I believe that sustainable change happens when programs are people-centered, systems are strengthened, and leadership is shared.
