Lao PDR research analyst

Nina is the Lao country office's resident data wizard. She has been waving her magic wand at the NT2 data for nearly a year now. In her spare time she has also been working on issues connected to poverty, vulnerability, social protection and natural resources for Lao as a whole, learning to cook purple sticky rice and trying to play Swedish hockey. The food in Vientiane is far better (and cheaper) than in the UK, where she previously worked in research.
