Kris Inman, Georgetown University

Dr. Kris Inman's career is focused on conflict zones, primarily on the African Continent. In 2024 she led four main areas of policy and implementation impact for international development. First, she led the evaluation of USAID/Ukraine's Ukraine Responsive and Adaptive Politics that provided evidence-based policy and programming recommendations to further strengthen Ukraine's democracy and advance its European integration. Second, she led the invention of a recurring evaluative monitoring system for USAID/Somalia to improve timely evidence about progress toward USAID's strategic objective to prevent and counter violent extremism in Somalia. Third, she is a senior advisor for the team evaluating the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stabilization, the U.S. strategy that implements the Global Fragility Act. This strategy is intended to change the way the U.S. government responds to violent extremism and violent conflict by shifting from response to prevention. Finally, she is the evaluation team lead for the U.S. government's African Democratic and Political Transitions (ADAPT) initiative that combines diplomatic and development responses in Guinea to support a democratic transition. The U.S. government intends to scale this pilot initiative, if it is successful.
