Emmanuel Ayoola is an international development professional, researcher, and practitioner working at the intersection of reparations, healing, historical memory, transitional justice, and African-diasporic justice. He currently serves as manager of grantmaking and impact at the Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada, where he supports governance, grantmaking systems, and donor stewardship for large-scale social impact initiatives. Emmanuel is a member of the Global Circle for Reparations and Healing (GCRH) and has contributed to transnational reparative justice discourse through his participation in the Accra II Summit on Centering Healing, where he engaged with scholars, activists, and institutions on community-anchored approaches to repair, archival truth-telling, and intergenerational healing. He has also worked with Amnesty International and the Africa Transitional Justice Legacy Fund (ATJLF), where he managed multi-country grant portfolios across Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Cote d’Ivoire, and The Gambia, including supporting African-led transitional justice, memorialization, and knowledge-production initiatives. He holds a Master of Laws (LL.M.) and brings a practitioner-scholar perspective that bridges academic inquiry and institutional design.
