Background

About Sarah Pedersen

Passionate about improving global nutrition and health through data-driven solutions, I am a senior expert in Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) with extensive experience in international development. With a PhD in International Nutrition from Cornell and over fifteen years leading large-scale evaluations, I specialize in designing rigorous assessments, informing policy, and strengthening food systems to drive sustainable impact. My expertise spans survey methodology, nutritional assessment, epidemiology, and agricultural development—ensuring that interventions are evidence-based and effectively implemented. As a former Senior M&E Advisor at USAID, I have led high-profile initiatives that shaped food security and health policies worldwide. Now, I am eager to apply my expertise to new challenges where I can leverage data and evaluation to improve global health and development outcomes. Let’s connect!
