Watch a short video excerpt of Evelyn’s interview or read the interview in full below.
What were you doing before you came to IDS?
I actually worked for an NGO, an international NGO back in Indonesia. It was an NGO focused on food systems and nutrition. I was there for seven years. So it’s been quite a long time. Before then, I worked for another NGO that is focused on energy conservation.
