About Stuart Campo

Stuart currently serves as the Senior Advisor on Data Impact, Strategy and Partnerships at IOM. Between April 2018 - July 2023, Stuart served as the Team Lead for Data Responsibility at the UN OCHA Centre for Humanitarian Data. In this role, he oversaw efforts to advance the safe, ethical, and effective management of data within OCHA and to promote data responsibility more broadly in the sector. This included leading a process to develop the Inter-Agency Standing Committee's Operational Guidance on Data Responsibility and co-chairing the Data Responsibility Working Group. In 2019, Stuart also served as a Senior Fellow at the NYU Governance Lab (GovLab), where he advised on issues related to data responsibility in public service delivery for children as part of UNICEF’s Responsible Data for Children initiative (https://rd4c.org/). In 2017 and 2018, Stuart worked as a Researcher with the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative's Signal Program on Human Security and Technology. In this capacity, he conducted translational research on humanitarian technologies, standards and ethics. Prior to his work with HHI, Stuart served as the Senior Innovation Deployment Specialist with UNICEF's Global Innovation Center. In this capacity, he led globally on remote and in-country support to UNICEF and partners in the strategic adaptation and deployment of a range of innovative solutions, including real-time information platforms like RapidPro and U-Report. During his tenure at UNICEF (beginning in 2010), Stuart held extended assignments in Madagascar and South Sudan, and supported the design and activation of innovation initiatives in over 35 countries. Stuart has extensive experience supporting the deployment of innovative solutions that bridge the humanitarian-development divide—supporting national system-strengthening for improved decision-making and results for children at scale. Prior to joining UNICEF, Stuart worked with Straight Talk Foundation—a leading health and development communication NGO in Uganda. Stuart studied Politics at Princeton University, and is currently based in Rome.
