ABOUT
Meet Krysten Sewett
Sustainable Development & Agri-Systems Consultant
I work at the intersection of sustainable development, agriculture systems, and governance.
My background includes supporting vulnerable farmers, coordinating donor-funded initiatives, contributing to market systems development, and engaging across public, private, and community-level stakeholders in Guyana and the wider Caribbean.
My work is guided by structured, systems-based approach informed by project management training and real-world implementation experience. I am currently pursuing an LLB, with the long-term goal of strengthening my advisory work in governance, compliance, and regulatory aspects of sustainable development and agri-enterprise.
I value clarity, accountability, and solutions that are designed to last.
WHAT I DO
I help organizations move from good ideas to practical, implementable, and accountable programs.
My work focuses on:
-
Project and program design
-
Proposal development and review
-
Workplans, budgets, and reporting structures
-
Systems, accountability, and governance design
-
Advisory support for sustainable agriculture and market-based initiatives
WHO I WORK WITH
I work with:
-
NGOs and donor-funded programs
-
Development consultants and implementing partners
-
Agriculture and climate-resilient initiatives
-
Farmer organizations and cooperatives
-
Institutions and private-sector actors operating in agriculture and development
If your work involves multiple stakeholders, funding requirements, and accountability pressures, I help bring structure and clarity.
WHY ORGANISATIONS WORK WITH ME
Many agriculture and development projects struggle not because the ideas are weak, but because systems, accountability, and implementation realities are underestimated.
I bring a combination that is rare in the sector:
-
Hands-on experience working with farmers and institutions
-
Strong understanding of donor-funded and results-based projects
-
Structured project management and delivery discipline
-
A governance and systems lens that strengthens accountability and compliance
