He loves the concept of agile and lean methodology not only for technology but also for other humanitarian development processes. He believes in collaboration/partnership than singular ownership to achieve the 21st century Sustainable Development Goals. He is a human rights approach practitioner – adore jargon like “right holders and duty bearers”. @minulimbu
