Research interest 
My research interest in on Livelihoods and Climate change. It has been observed that climate change has a lot of impact on crops, animals, fisheries, human settlements, migration etc. These have affected the livelihood outcomes of people, especially farmers. It is therefore in my interest to assess the effects of climate change on the people and examine the adaptations strategies being adopted by the farmers to solve these problems.
