Summary

I have a strong background in Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL), with a focus on capacity building for community-based organizations and local organizations. With 10 years of direct experience in MEAL, including 3 years in a category 1 humanitarian response and 6 years in developmental programs, I have developed a comprehensive skill set.
My expertise lies in data analysis, utilizing software packages such as SPSS, Epi-info 7, STATA, Microsoft Excel, and R. I have also designed and managed databases using Microsoft Access and am familiar with the DHIS 2 database. In addition, I possess strong report writing skills and have experience in office administration and management.
I have successfully managed information and knowledge in a multi-program setting, including handling donor reporting for organizations such as OFDA, DFID, FAO, FFP, Global Fund, GFO, USAID, UNICEF, GAC, and ECHO. I am proficient in both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis, and I have experience using mobile data collection tools for form creation, data collection, and analysis.

Furthermore, I am familiar with the One Health Tool, which adds to my expertise in the field. Overall, my diverse experience in MEAL, data analysis, database management, and donor reporting positions me as a highly capable professional in the field of Monitoring and Evaluation.
