Peter Busssian is a well-established senior/executive level international development communications and knowledge management  consultant and content producer with more than 20 years of experience working in the humanitarian sector. As such, he has conceived, and implemented numerous communications strategies and developed an array of advocacy related materials.  He has also created content to communicate messages and stories in virtually all forms of media and outreach – internal and external.  He has spent much of his career working on projects in developing countries, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Liberia, Malawi, Sudan and Vietnam and HQ level.  

 

Within the context of international development, Peter has worked on projects funded by the UN, EU, DFID, USAID and INGOs, focused increasingly at an executive level in various sectors - environment, elections, conflict prevention, democracy and governance, countering violent extremism, health, emergency response, energy, gender and cross-sectoral.  He has also produced and/or worked with local partners to create content – social media, film, photography and written stories. His duties have also included a great deal of advocacy material development and in-person dialogue directed toward partners and colleagues. In addition, he has led various trainings and workshops and been pro-active in capacity building of communicators in the field. In 2021, he founded the Afghanistan Support Group, which has become a prominent resource in assisting Afghans both in Afghanistan and in the diaspora in the wake of the Taliban takeover of the country. 

 

He has  also written and photographed two books: “Passage to Afghanistan” (Skyhorse, 2016). and “Trans New York” (Apollo, 2020).
