Vyvyan Kinross has a long career working as a communications and Public Relations advisor in the Middle East. Most recently he was a senior advisor at the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of the Interior, consulting on a major aid development programme, that sought to find ways for the security sector to improve their relationship with the population of the West Bank and Gaza.
A PR professional and a former journalist, Vyvyan trained originally as an Arabist and has worked across the Middle East region since the early 1970s. He reported from Iraq on Saddam's war against the Ayatollah's revolutionary Iran and went on to help Afghanistan's new Counter Narcotics Directorate develop a communications strategy as part of the UK's capacity building programme there.
