He has been involved in a large number of capacity building initiatives focusing on the food sector in different African and Asian countries. Dr Dora has significant practical experience and interdisciplinary research publications in the field of sustainable food supply chain management and food security. Manoj's current research aims to map the humanitarian supply chain and its impact across the different stakeholders in the developing country context using “lean thinking” principles. Manoj has been successful in acquiring research grants from the World Bank, European Commission (FP7), British Academy and several private companies in the past.
