My professional portfolio spans nearly two decades of strategic development, research, monitoring, and evaluation across a broad spectrum of critical development sectors. This extensive experience provides me with a unique interdisciplinary perspective on complex development challenges:
- Health: I have contributed significantly to evaluating public health programs, including those addressing maternal and child health, infectious diseases (e.g., HIV/AIDS, TB, COVID-19), and health systems strengthening. My expertise covers program effectiveness, service delivery models, and health policy implications.
- Agriculture, Food Security and Natural resource Management: My work has focused on evaluating the impact of agricultural interventions on smallholder farmer productivity, market access, resilience to climate shocks, and nutritional outcomes. This includes assessments of value chain development, sustainable land management practices, and early warning systems for food insecurity.
- Nutrition and Livelihoods: My work has encompassed the evaluation of integrated nutrition programs aimed at reducing malnutrition and enhancing household food security, as well as livelihood diversification strategies in vulnerable communities.
- Climate Change and Green Growth: I have led evaluations of climate change adaptation and mitigation projects, assessing their effectiveness in building community resilience, promoting sustainable resource management, and fostering green economic development. This includes the evaluation of climate-smart agriculture initiatives and renewable energy projects.
- Education: I have evaluated education programs, focusing on access, quality of instruction, learning outcomes, and the impact of educational reforms on human capital development.
- Adolescents and Youth Empowerment, Social Protection: Across all sectors, I maintain a strong, cross-cutting focus on youth empowerment and social protection. My evaluations rigorously analyze the differential impacts of interventions on these demographic groups, ensuring that development initiatives are equitable, gender-responsive, and address systemic inequalities. I have designed and implemented gender-sensitive M&E frameworks that capture nuanced outcomes and promote inclusive development practices.
