In a world of complex development challenges, evidence is power—but only when it’s translated into learning and action. At the heart of my work is a commitment to rigorous, context-sensitive MEL that drives real-world impact.
What I Do
I design and lead evaluations that:
- Apply mixed-methods approaches (RCTs, quasi-experimental, qualitative)
- Align with OECD-DAC criteria for relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability
- Prioritize child-sensitive, gender-responsive, and ethically sound methodologies
- Translate findings into actionable insights for policy, programming, and scale-up
Whether assessing digital learning initiatives in rural Kenya or advising on national skills development strategies, I ensure that data is not just collected—but understood, shared, and used.
Why me
Strategic Depth + Local Insight With a Ph.D. in Information Systems and specialized MERL training from USIU-Africa, I bring both analytical rigor and grounded understanding of Kenya’s development landscape.
Track Record of Impact From leading evaluations for UNICEF and UNESCO to designing pilot programmes in Nyanza, I’ve helped shape decisions that affect thousands of lives.
Ethics and Inclusion First I embed safeguarding, data protection, and inclusive practices into every evaluation—because how we learn matters as much as what we learn.
Mentorship and Capacity Building I don’t just deliver findings—I build capacity. Through Real Link Centre, I mentor emerging evaluators and support institutions in strengthening their MEL systems.
Let’s Build Learning Systems That Work
If you’re a donor, policymaker, or practitioner seeking MEL that goes beyond compliance—let’s talk. I offer tailored support in:
- MEL framework design
- Evaluation implementation
- Data synthesis and reporting
- Learning workshops and dissemination
Guiding Principles
- Participatory: Communities and stakeholders are co-creators of knowledge
- Inclusive: Gender, disability, and geographic equity are embedded
- Ethical: Safeguarding and data protection are non-negotiable
- Actionable: Findings must inform real decisions—not just sit on shelves
