Keneth Ndua Mitambo

I’m a behavioral strategist and child-centered design expert with over 10 years of experience helping organizations in East Africa turn human insights into inclusive, scalable solutions. My work focuses on health, climate, and youth enterprise — designing for behavior change, equity, and lasting community impact in low-resource and vulnerable settings.

With deep experience in participatory research and innovation, I specialize in co-creating solutions with children, youth, and underserved communities. I’ve led research and design projects across Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda — using human-centered and behavioral design tools to unlock barriers, map user journeys, and design interventions that stick.

I help mission-driven organizations design programs and strategies that engage real people. This includes leading behavior change strategy, creating youth entrepreneurship workbooks and toolkits, building design playbooks for field teams, and facilitating enterprise labs for young innovators. I also advise on behavioral diagnostics, insight synthesis, storytelling, and prototyping for development programs and social enterprises.

I’ve supported NGOs, foundations, social businesses, and local innovators to strengthen program outcomes, increase adoption of life-changing products or services, and build sustainable, child-led enterprises. My work blends strategic thinking with hands-on field engagement — I thrive in dynamic, low-resource environments where innovation must be grounded in context.

Core skills include:

• Human-centered & behavioral design
• Participatory qualitative research
• Child & youth enterprise program design
• Fieldwork & community co-creation
• Strategy development & storytelling
• Workshop facilitation & capacity building

I work well independently or as part of a distributed team and can lead short-term or long-term projects focused on behavioral change, social impact, or youth innovation. I bring calm leadership, cross-cultural fluency, and deep commitment to design that advances dignity and agency — especially for children, young people, and marginalized communities.
