Justin Williams

He has nearly 20 years’ experience at the FCDO and before that at DFID, working on governance, anti-corruption and media development including in Syria, Tanzania and Ethiopia. He started his PhD as a way of reflecting more critically on development, turning the tools of a governance adviser onto a development intervention itself. He currently works in the FCDO’s Democratic Governance and Media Freedom team in London.

    DLP has been enormously influential in shaping my thinking and teaching about leadership and change. It combines conceptual clarity, with usable tools in areas such as political analysis, and case studies that are invaluable in bringing complex arguments to life.
