His expertise ranges from humanitarian policy issues, natural disaster response, and conflict prevention and mitigation.

Nickinson has also worked with InterAction,. the largest coalition of US-based relief and development NGOs in regards to avian influenza. He also has expertise in global trade and finance especially in Latin America. Seth can speak to the reform of institutions as the World Bank, IMF, and CAFTA, while supporting local civil society in social and economic justice issues. Whether he is in the United Nation in Geneva or the soccer fields in Guatemala, Seth can train in development applications of information technologies and trade liberalization.
