 tings\, including Senegal\, Liberia\, El Salvador\, Honduras\, Venezuela\,
  USA and Switzerland.\n\nPatrice’s background is diverse and unique in ter
 ms of his engagement in the international development field never having r
 eally stuck with a particular programmatic area in the traditional sense t
 hroughout his career but rather jumping from theme to theme as each opport
 unity presented itself\, while at the same time keeping a keen interest in
  Sustainability and Human Rights issues and particularly Economic\, Social
  and Cultural Rights. Having studied a double major in IDS and Psychology 
 at Â鶹ɫÇéƬ\, he went on right away to continue his studies at th
 e University of Montreal with a Masters in International Studies. Having l
 ittle hands on experience at the time of his graduation from his Masters\,
  a series of internships\, volunteerships and small roles in project/progr
 am management ensued in the next few years including in the Organization o
 f American States\, the UN Office for the High Commissioner on Human Right
 s\, and Amnistie Internationale – Canada\, among others where he began nav
 igating the complicated world of international development. At one point\,
  he even decided to give the private sector a chance and worked for a mark
 eting intelligence firm\, dealing with Local Development Agencies mostly i
 n developed countries. After a couple of years\, he returned to the more t
 raditional ID sector as part of a group of Volunteer Cooperants sponsored 
 by the Government of Canada\, and went on to get field experience in Hondu
 ras and El Salvador for two years with Oxfam-Quebec\, working directly wit
 h local implementing partners as Capacity Development Advisor\, particular
 ly with programs being funded by ONE DROP to tackle WASH issues but which 
 included interventions in micro-finance\, micro-entrepreneurship\, social 
 arts and food security. Since\, 2012\, Patrice has been based in Ottawa se
 rving as Program Manager with Plan Canada as part of a specialized unit su
