Background

About Temple Jagha

I am a global development strategist passionate about driving systemic change at the intersection of public health, agriculture, and trade. Over the past two decades, I’ve led multisectoral programs across 10 countries, building teams, assuring quality, shaping evaluation frameworks, and aligning vision with measurable results. From restoring partner relationships and re-energizing teams to guiding over 20 concurrent evaluations, I have consistently steered complex initiatives toward impact. My approach strikes a balance between big-picture strategy and technical rigor, while strengthening systems, safeguarding teams, and championing data-driven decision-making. Whether mentoring graduate students, building the capacity of professional colleagues, consulting on international evaluations, or refining trade and investment metrics, my work is rooted in collaboration, integrity, and adaptive leadership. I believe in locally grounded solutions and cross-sectoral partnerships that are sustainable. Let’s connect if you’re exploring aligned impact or want to build something transformational.
