      Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist

      I joined ACTED in 2009 as a Data Clerk in the M&E unit and quickly moved to the M&E Officer poisition in 2010. In 2011 I was promoted to the Head of the M&E unit poisition, where I was overseeing a small team of M&E officers and data clerks. Managing this team included multiple capacity building activities, e.g. research methods, data collection, data entry and analysis. The role has also focused on development and management of the M&E strategies for projects, conducting needs assessments, KAP (Knowledge, Attitude, Practice) surveys, and designing LogFrames. I was overseeing all the monitoring activities of the active portfolio, often including field visits, performing data analysis and synthesis and drafting progress reports which contributed to the regular donor reporting. I have facilitated and supported external project evaluations by sharing all the project documentation (desk review), coordinating field visits and providing insights on the early evaluation findings.
