Winnie V. Mitullah1

Summary of Curriculum Vitae

Winnie V. Mitullah is the current Director and Associate Research Professor of Development

Studies at the Institute for Development Studies (IDS), and the Director Gender Affairs,

University of Nairobi. I hold a PhD in Political Science and Public Administration from the

University of York, UK. My PhD thesis was on Urban Housing, with a major focus on policies

relating to low income housing. Over the years, I have researched and consulted in the areas of

governance, in particular in the area of provision and management of urban services and the role

of stakeholders in development. My focus in these areas has included an examination of policies,

and institutional dynamics in relation to local level development, including that of devolved

governments, Micro and Small Enterprises [SMEs], public and Non Motorised Transport

(NMT), gender, youth and media.

I have worked in both the public and the nonprofit sector. Immediately after finalising my

Masters at the University of Nairobi in 1983, I joined Mazingira Institute as a principal

researcher in a comparative study of seven African cities coordinated by the University of

Toronto in Canada. After this assignment, I took up a Ministry of Local Government and

UNICEF contract to set up the Social Services coordination Unit within the former Ministry of

Local Government. This exposed me not only to researching, planning and monitoring but also

to actual implementation and evaluation of development programmes. This prepared me for my

research and teaching employment which I began at the end of 1987, when I was employed as a

Junior Research Fellow at the Institute for Development Studies (IDS).

I have researched, taught, consulted and collaborated with a number of academic colleagues and

institutions, Government Ministries, UN and other local and international agencies, notably:

UNICEF, UN-HABITAT, UNDP, UNDESA, UNIFEM, UNEP, World Bank, EC, DFID, FIT,

USAID, DANIDA and both national and international NGOs as reflected in my CV. The

collaborations have included research, evaluations, project development, write-ups and facilitation

of related processes. In the area of research I have built a large research network and funding

agencies across the globe, which is reflected in the research projects and funding I have been able to

attract to the University of Nairobi. Most of these projects also provide for student scholarships and

exchange programmes for academic staff.

Since my last promotion to the position of Associate Research Professor in 2006, I have

continued to undertake research, to publish and to undertake University management

assignments. Some of my recent publications include: Politics, Policy and Paratransit: A View

from Nairobi (2016); Political Engagement Deficit in Sustainable Governance of Cities in East

Africa (2015); `Negotiated Democracy: A Double Barrel Sword’ (2015); `Institutional Context of

ICT and Women’s Participation in Kenya’ (2014); `Media Practitioners and Public Opinion on

Interactive Media Shows in Kenya: The Case of Citizen TV’s Power Breakfast/Cheche’ (2014);

`Pattern of Pedestrian Injuries in the City of Nairobi: Implications for Urban Safety Planning’

(2013); and `Development Ideals and Reality: Bridging the Kenya Gap Through Devolution’

(2012) among others as reflected in my CV.

Cape Town, Global Urban Competitive Project (GUCP) hosted at Bucknell University, Women

School, Cambridge, USA. I have coordinated various local and international task forces,

committees and working groups, including being a member of the Kenya Government Task

Force on Devolved Government that structured the County Governments through policy and

drafting of relevant legislations.

Other positions previously held include: Vice Chairperson, Governing Council of the Kenya
