Claire Burniat, Global Networks Program Manager

As the Global Networks Program Manager, Claire supports the Coalition’s programmatic work in Africa; Asia; Europe; Latin America and the Caribbean; the Middle East and North Africa; North America; and Russia, helping to build the capacity of these member regions through trainings and workshops, cross-regional exchanges and advocacy campaigns. Claire has worked around the world with international development and humanitarian relief organizations with a focus on people affected by disasters, refugees and internally displaced populations. Over the course of her career, Claire has developed expertise in program management, institutional fundraising and capacity building. In her last position, Claire managed the Shifting the Power consortium implemented by six international nonprofit organizations to support local and national NGO networks in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Congo, Ethiopia and Kenya. The project aimed to shift the balance of power towards locally led humanitarian efforts by strengthening national capacity for decision-making and leadership, and helping national organizations achieve better representation, voice and recognition.
