Algina Kamara is a community development strategist with a strong commitment to gender equality and social impact. She was recently appointed Chair of the Board at Media Matters for Women (MMW), bringing a depth of experience in public service and grassroots program delivery.

In her current role as Programme Manager for Westminster City Council’s Community Priorities Programme in London, Algina leads a multi-million pound initiative supporting local, community-led projects that tackle inequality and strengthen neighbourhood resilience.

At MMW, Algina provides strategic leadership as the organisation expands its reach and impact across Sierra Leone.
