Al is the founder of the Open Institute, an African organisation that works with governments and civil society organisations to promote open government and citizen engagement.

Justine has worked across Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. She has experience of large scale humanitarian response and of helping INGOs devolve power and localise their operations.

Gary Forster, CEO of Publish What You Fund, commented:

“We are very excited by these appointments and the additional expertise and perspectives they bring to our board. Al and Justine will help to lead the future direction of Publish What You Fund and ensure we remain a well-run, transparent organisation, focused and committed to our mission.  Their interest in data, development and engagement, experience of managing and mentoring people, of managing budgets and resources, and communications expertise  will be of great value. The team and board are looking forward to working with Al and Justine through the opportunities and challenges ahead.”
