David Johnson

Trustee

I first became involved with MBG as part of the Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) trips between 2011 and 2013, initially as a volunteer and then assisting trips as a deputy and the project-leader. I interned in the TARUD office during the Summer of 2012, providing IT assistance and project support. My experiences in Gunjur inspired me to leave LBG in 2013 to study International Development at the University of Leeds, where I focused on political economy analysis of development policy and interventions. In 2016 I studied at the University of Ghana where I conducted independent research into spatial and economic inequality in the country.

I now work in London for the International Centre for Parliamentary Studies conducting market research, programme development and sales activities for public policy-orientated short courses. From September 2018 I will be studying at the London School of Economics and Political Science for an MSc in International and Social and Public Policy.
