With more than 15 years of experience in monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL), I design and manage MEAL systems for humanitarian and development programs across multiple sectors and countries.As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and Associate in Project Management (CAPM) from PMI, USA, I apply best practices and standards to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the programs I oversee. I also hold certifications in M&E from the International Training Centre of the ILO, Turin, Italy, and the University of Bern, Switzerland. I have conducted various surveys, assessments, evaluations, and reviews using quantitative and qualitative methods and data analysis software. I have also developed and facilitated participatory approaches and feedback mechanisms to ensure accountability and learning from beneficiaries, partners, and stakeholders. Additionally, I have provided MEAL capacity building and coaching to staff and partners through training, workshops, mentoring, and on-the-job support. I am passionate about using MEAL to inform decision making, improve performance, and enhance impact.
