Background

About Kerem Karasu

I am an M&E expert with a background in education and have been working for NGOs active in the fields of youth social work and refugee aid for 15 years. I have proven skills in managing monitoring and evaluation activities of small to large projects. As a research coordinator, designing and maintaining M&E systems, introducing, and implementing tools such as G Suite, Dashboards, and mobile data collection, and instructing and coordinating teams of field researchers, have been among my main working areas. I have planned and led research projects on NEET (not in education, employment or training), a baseline study on child labor in seasonal migratory agriculture, and a need analysis on Syrian Refugees in Istanbul, while, with great dedication, pioneering efforts to standardize general workflows and complex yet easy to use reporting systems using Google Spreadsheets, Microsoft Excel or solutions like Asana. I have studied educational science in Bielefeld, Germany with a focus on social inequality, discourse theory, identity, and migration.
