Josie brings the ‘old HAG’ energy to the organisation. As HAG’s longest-surviving staff member, her career kicked off with briefly dipping her toes into the academic and public service areas and finding the water too cold. Joining the organisation in 2015, she found the temperature to be just right – she thrives amongst a team of visionary, creative and fresh thinkers.
From not knowing her humanitarian left hand to her development right hand, over the past ten years she has developed a keen interest in bringing a critical and constructive lens to humanitarian reform issues. As a big picture thinker, who enjoys exploring what is both practical, and the potential of what could be possible, she has co-led the Humanitarian Horizons localisation of humanitarian action research stream, developed localisation measurement framework, country baselines, and supported a range of country and global localisation initiatives. She has co-authored a range of publications including on the future role of intermediaries in supporting locally led action, environmental practice in the Tonga earthquake response, and reviews on localisation evidence. She has also authored independent think pieces on joint funding mechanisms and PSEA in the Australian context.
Josie’s most recent work include:
- Interrogating the Evidence Base on Humanitarian Localisation: A Literature Study
- Treading Gently: Building on Positive Environmental Practice in the Tonga Volcano Response
- Equitable Research Partnership Between Global North and Global South Research Collaborators: Making it HappenTo send Josie an email, please write jflint followed by @humanitarianadvisorygroup.org
