MARTIE MTANGE

People’s Vaccine Alliance – Africa Coordinator

Martie Mtange is a health and development professional with several years of experience in international NGOs’ strategic planning, policy advocacy, programme management, and communications. He has worked closely with healthcare professionals, specifically nurses and midwives who comprise the most significant proportion of healthcare workers, to advocate for better working conditions, spotlight their stories of impact during the COVID-19 pandemic, supported and led campaigns to recognise their contribution to healthcare through awards and educational opportunities, as well as supported the launch of the Kenya National Nursing and Midwifery Policy.

Additionally, Martie led the production of platforms that showcased corruption in Kenya since independence, enlightening Africans on what happens when leaders are not held to account. Through these initiatives, Martie works to find creative solutions to injustice and inequalities across Africa for those who are forgotten, taken for granted and marginalised.
