In the last four years, he has been heavily involved in contributing to the body of knowledge to improve healthcare outcomes in the low-income and middle-income countries, from evidence synthesis to policy, financing, training, and implementation science. Much of his experience in global health has been at Polygeia, a super team of research and policy thinkers at the University of Cambridge, where he is currently supporting budding global health researchers for their summer research projects with capacity development as head of training. He has also been a qualitative research assistant at the division of global health equity, Brigham and Women's Hospital/ Harvard Medical, on two projects to improve how migrating men in South Africa access HIV prevention services.
Before joining Impact Global Health, he has been an intern at Global AMR R&D Hub, in the German Center for Infection Research, where he worked with One Health subteam; in the One Health AMR subteam, he worked with experts from the WHO quadripartite organisations to track funding for AMR projects geared towards the One Health agenda. He hopes to maximally contribute this experience to the G-FINDER survey.
Dolapo is also passionate about building a cohort of young people who are socially responsible to attend to the challenge of their immediate environment. In this regard, he co-founded The Mafita Initiative, a youth-led organization building capacity of young people to address community challenges through research, design of intervention, and implementation of intervention. Under his leadership as the Executive Director, the team has implemented two funded interventions - on mental health and environmental education.
