Rose Ogega

"The environment that executives operate in is so dynamic that sometimes they are overwhelmed by the changes"

"We must stop seeing youth as a problem to be solved in conflict settings and start recognizing them as partners to be empowered. Investing in their agency is the most cost-effective conflict prevention strategy there is."

"A lot of people want to create real impact with their life. They think about it, they talk about."

"Once you excel in your role, the natural progression is a promotion into a more senior role."

"Navigating organizational culture of vested interests to create an environment where impactful decisions are made can be a tough job."

"Sustainable peace is a mirage without the active participation and leadership of women. They are not just victims of conflict; they are the first responders and the most committed architects of lasting peace in their communities."

"Rose Ogega brings a profound understanding of the intersection between gender, youth, and conflict. Her strategic leadership has been pivotal in designing programs that empower local communities to become agents of their own stability and reconciliation."

"A seasoned peacebuilding practitioner, Ms. Ogega's work is characterized by its innovative approach to integrating traditional conflict resolution mechanisms with modern frameworks for gender-inclusive peace."

"Her invaluable and robust contributions in the committees and at board meetings during her tenure, and to wish her the best in her future endeavors."
