About Me

My photo
Juha Uitto
Washington, DC, United States
So who am I? A Finn living in Washington, DC. I was born and raised in Helsinki where I also studied until I went to Sweden for a doctorate in Social and Economic Geography at Lund University (www.keg.lu.se). These Nordic neighbors are the first two among the five countries on three continents I’ve lived in for any longer period of time. My entire adult life has been spent in international development and environment, parts of it in academia, others in international organizations, and the private sector as consultant. I now work with the Global Environment Facility evaluating the effectiveness of the programs around the world.
