Vivienne spent nearly a year as a Disability Inclusion Specialist with the World Food Programme (WFP) in Rome and undertook seven field missions to WFP country offices around the world. Vivienne helped initiate partnerships with organisations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) and identified barriers and enablers for better disability inclusion practice.
