Dr. Jacob Otim
Lead Consultant, Jacorion, PhD in Energy, Economics & Governance (Makerere University)
I am an economist with extensive experience in education, energy, environment, and development policy. Over the years, I have combined university teaching with research and consultancy, producing peer-reviewed publications and contributing to policy discussions in these fields. My background as a lecturer has strengthened my skills in training, mentoring, and communication of complex ideas clearly to different audience. In consultancy and research assignments, I focus on practical analysis, project design, and monitoring and evaluation, to deliver results that are useful for decision-makers. I enjoy working in collaborative settings and remain calm under pressure, which allows me to meet deadlines and maintain quality. My goal is to support sustainable growth, stronger education systems, and better policy outcomes through careful economic analysis and engagement with stakeholders.
