Currently, Katsivo is a member of the research development team at the University, providing support for faculty in the conceptualization, development and coordination of international research and development/technical assistance initiatives.

She is on the advisory committee of the Huron University College's CIDA/UPCD project on Building Civil Society Capacity for Poverty Reduction in Tanzania, and is also on the advisory and international partnerships committees of the newly launched Global Health Program.
