Dr Charulatha Banerjee

I am a qualified Medical Doctor with six years’ experience in neurosurgery and, subsequent to that, a background as a Hospital Administrator. Since 2003 I have been working in Public health and nutrition in India and South Asia with national and International development organisations. My role primarily as a Technical Advisor has involved developing MCH and Nutrition projects and monitoring their progress and ensuring quality. In my role as Regional Advisor for Mother and Child Health and Nutrition for Terre des hommes Foundation (Tdh), one of Switzerland’s largest organisations working on children’s rights, I supported and monitored projects in 5 countries - India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

In addition to this regional experience I must mention that I have worked in several Indian states across these years – Andhra Pradesh. Andaman & Nicobar Islands, West Bengal and very recently Rajasthan. Following the extensive experience of programme management and technical support I have been involved in Knowledge Management working with ENN a UK based Nutrition thinktank covering countries in Asia and leading independent work to capture Nutrition programming and Policy development in close collaboration with Governments. This work has involved designing and documenting studies capturing projects at scale through detailed field interviews to complement policy reviews and other existing documentation.
