I am a qualified Monitoring and Evaluation expert with more than 19 years of experiences in leading and managing monitoring and evaluation tasks - leading, supervising, and managing research and evaluations, data management and analysis, and generating evidence for decision making - in diversified program contexts with multiple development organizations. She has plenty of experience in designing and conducting performance monitoring, research and evaluations, developing performance monitoring and evaluation plan, designing routine monitoring and reporting tools, designing automated database system, designing and implementing performance and quality monitoring mechanisms, ensuring proper documentation of achievements, and providing trainings and technical support to improve M&E capacity.
