About
Dino began his career as a reporter in Africa for Reuters, the Financial Times and the Economist. He then served a decade with the United Nations working on various investigations commissioned by the Security Council to look into material and financial support to armed groups, and subsequently in a UN peacekeeping mission. Prior to taking up his doctoral studies he was the acting director of the Africa programme at the conflict and policy research group, the International Crisis Group. He has also worked as a consultant for the World Bank’s fragility conflict and violence (FCV) team. His research is funded by the Cato Stonex studentship, which in part attaches him to LSE's think tank, IDEAS.
