Dr. Darran Newman found the work that was meant for her when she started her development career as a sociologist at the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ).  Today she is a highly competent international development expert with over 25 years of policy-related and field experience from working with multilateral, bilateral development agencies and government, providing global development leadership.  Her extensive experience in social development included integrating gender equality and social inclusion in development programming and policy processes.

During the period 1999-2013 she worked with the UK Government’s Department for International Development (renamed FCDO) and the European Commission, carrying out socio-political and poverty analysis, and bringing expertise in promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment to interdisciplinary team working and global research.

As a social development specialist, she conducted social audits and social impact and gender assessments for agricultural innovation initiatives in India and Central and Western Africa.  Championing gender equality and the rights and empowerment of women and girls was a central part of the social development analytical support for Eastern Europe, Tajikistan, Kyrgzhstan and Southern Africa country programmes.

Driven by a strong urge to support international development in the Caribbean, in 2013 she returned to the region to join the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) as Portfolio Manager for the Basic Needs Trust Fund (BNTF).   Subsequently, she led the Bank’s Technical Cooperation Division for 4 years.  Since 2021 she held position of Advisor to the Vice-President (Operations) and more recently holds the position of Advisor to the Acting President.

One of her major aspirations is to always be a change-maker and work with others to achieve deep and wide systemic change in the Caribbean.

Darran has always wanted to be in a position where she could help to create better futures especially for children.  This passionate advocacy for children’s rights led her to investigate child policy implementation in Jamaica.  She has a master’s degree in Sociology and completed a PhD in Social Policy.
