Bayes Ahmed
About Me
My background includes research in the field of disaster risk reduction (DRR), conflict and migration, climate change adaptation, community vulnerability assessment, climate mobility, and disaster displacement. I work at the intersection between conflict and disaster with a vision to help to improve the living standards of displaced people and the stateless population. I am passionate about working with grass-root people to understand their disaster vulnerabilities and producing practical policy recommendations to address their problems.
