Rebecca Kyomugisha is a clinical psychologist and programme management specialist working at the intersection of mental health, public health, and policy advocacy in East Africa. She has contributed to mental health research, programme design, clinical service delivery, and community-based interventions at MRC/UVRI & LSHTM, Oxfam, and World Vision Uganda, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across academia, NGOs, and policy spaces to strengthen mental health systems and improve psychosocial care for children, families, and communities affected by adversity.
Rebecca holds a Bachelor’s in Community Psychology, an MSc in Clinical Psychology from Makerere University, and an MSc in Global Mental Health from King’s College London and LSHTM. She has also completed Mental Health Leadership training with Africa CDC.
She believes women’s leadership brings empathy, holistic thinking, and frontline lived experience that are essential for shaping equitable, responsive global health policies.
Fun fact: Rebecca is the Publisher of Seasons Africa, a cultural lifestyle magazine celebrating African traditions, family well-being, and festive living, because she believes that storytelling and community connection are themselves a form of public health.
