In addition to her operational leadership, Ms Mukunda has served on several governance boards. She was a member of the Vision Fund Kenya Board under its Audit Committee and chaired the Board of the Uganda Water and Sanitation Network on behalf of World Vision Uganda. She also previously served as Council Secretary for St. Francis Chapel at Makerere University in Uganda. While in Eswatini, she represented the NGO sector on the Business Eswatini Board of Directors.

Her academic qualifications include a Doctorate in Business Administration, a Master’s in Management Studies, a Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management, and a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences.

The appointment of Ms Mukunda signals a renewed focus on leadership and innovation within World Vision Ghana, reinforcing its efforts to address development challenges and advance humanitarian work.
