In this episode, we discuss joining a graduate program with limited professional experience and how friendships and community make the journey easier. Our guest today is Esomchi Agalamanyi, who studied Economics at the University of Nigeria and earned a master’s in Education, Public Policy & Equity at the University of Glasgow.

His professional journey has taken him from the UN office in New York to the UNICEF office in Bangkok, and currently, he is at UNICEF Geneva, where he has built expertise in governance, accountability, and knowledge management. We discuss his early days as an economist, what drives him, what his work as a knowledge management specialist entails, why it matters in shaping policy, and the new challenges children face in a rapidly changing digital world.

For anyone curious about policy, children’s rights, or knowledge management, this is worth your listen.
