Ravio is WFD Country Director in Indonesia, leading programme design, delivery, management, and oversight in the country. Before assuming the Country Director position, Ravio was instrumental in growing the Indonesia team, initiating projects in new thematic policy areas, and delivering WFD’s first regional project in Southeast Asia aimed at tackling the barriers to women’s political leadership.

Beyond the region, Ravio represents WFD to the Open Parliament e-Network (OPeN) consortium and oversees a parliamentary support programme in the Solomon Islands.
