A seasoned analyst and democracy officer for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Mr. Sacks specializes in political processes, consensus-building, community engagement, rule of law and crime prevention, particularly in high conflict environments.

The objective of the Inclusive Services for the Population Affected by the Armed Conflict activity is to strengthen the capacity of public institutions, non-governmental organizations, community leaders and community-based organizations to ensure access to sexual, reproductive, and health services for conflict victims and other vulnerable populations.  This includes educating the populations on their rights, and on the services being provided to them.  In addition, the program strengthens local governments’ and communities’ capabilities to combat the spread of Zika and care for those already affected by the virus.
