Before coming to Southern Africa, Nisha served as the Director of the Office and UNESCO Representative to the Pacific States. In the Pacific, Nisha recalibrated the UNESCO Office for the Pacific States to focus on the long-term purpose of the Organization while tending to the urgent operational issues to bring the Organization closer to the national stakeholders. She expanded the Organization’s work, presence, and resources in the Pacific Region and set up four new Offices to cover three sub-regions of the Pacific.
Nisha’s overall work has been centered on multi-sector development, humanitarian action, labour and human rights, peacebuilding, and local, national, and regional development. In addition to working with UNESCO, Nisha worked internationally with Oxfam GB, Christian Aid, UNDP, UNIFEM, and the ILO in several countries in the East and Horn of Africa, South Asia, and Arab States, and with civil society organizations in India.
