Elisa Gobbo

I am a doctoral student working on the intervention development and implementation of an adolescent nutrition intervention as part of Changemaker. Changemaker is an EU-funded project centered on sustainable adolescent nutrition to reduce obesity and relate non-communicable diseases in informal settlement in Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Tanzania. The project is a collaboration between 13 parties based in Sweden, Finland, Germany, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Kenya, and the US. In this role, I am immersed in both conducting research and providing programmatic support, aiming to implement effective strategies that promote lasting improvements in adolescent health.

I have previously been involved in qualitative and implementation work on vaccine hesitancy in Nigeria and violence against women and girls in Ethiopia.
