Tjip Walker
Warning and Analysis Team
Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation USAID

Tjip Walker leads the Warning and Analysis Team in the Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) at the US Agency for International Development. In this capacity he coordinates CMM’s analytical leadership on range of conflict related issues, including early warning, fragile states and post-conflict reconstruction. He recently completed leadership of a multi-year, multi-donor collaboration sponsored by the OECD’s Fragile States Group focused on improving service delivery in fragile states. In his 25-year career as a development professional, he has been engaged in efforts ranging from developing a methodology for assessing democratic governance to reviewing the effectiveness of USAID’s support to disarmament/demobilization/ reintegration (DDR) programs to articulating the agency’s first policy statement on conflict management. His overseas assignments have included managing a privatization and market reform program also in Cameroon and directing the Office of Transition Initiative’s (OTI) program supporting the democratic transition in Nigeria. He holds an MPA from the John F. Kennedy School at Harvard University and a Ph.D. in political science from Indiana University.
