About Brianne Peters

Brianne Peters
Program Associate, Citizen-Led Development Program

Brianne Peters coordinates the Coady Institute’s East Africa program in Asset-based and Citizen-led Development. This action-research initiative in Ethiopia and Kenya is testing how a number of NGOs can stimulate and support community-driven development and then link community-driven action plans with local governments and research institutions to help communities become more self-reliant and continue to drive their own development. Brianne also works to support the Institute’s asset-based and citizen-led development work in a number of other countries, and in the Institute’s overseas and Canada-based educational offerings.

Brianne holds a Development Studies degree from St. Francis Xavier University and a Masters degree from the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa. Before working for the Institute, Brianne worked for the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) in the Human Rights and Participation Division of Policy Branch and for an international NGO in Ethiopia.
