Tuvalu

Working as a Project Adviser for the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme.

Consultant specialised in project design, logframe methodology, management, monitoring and evaluation of interventions managed by civil society organisations.

I am a dedicated person and advocate for community development, focusing on education and youth empowerment. My work emphasises access to protect vulnerable populations. I have experience in the technical and social sectors.

I am passionate about education, educational guidance and experiential learning. As founder of the Mon Choix Ma Carrière initiative, I help young people, particularly girls, to discover their talents, develop their skills and choose promising careers, particularly in the STEM fields.

With my initiative, I have already reached over 800 young people through workshops, conferences and practical programmes. My commitment is based on the values of integrity, tolerance and collaboration. I have also coordinated pan-African projects such as Together for a New Africa, promoting co-leadership and sustainable development.

I am particularly interested in issues relating to innovative education, gender equality, youth, digital technology and professional integration. My aim is to transform Mon Choix Ma Carrière into an EdTech start-up to put technology at the service of guidance and education in Africa.

A governance and M&E expert with a background in financial and sociological economics, I have more than 30 years of experience in programme management, policy development and M&E in a variety of fields including research, review and assessment in the areas of public administration reform, justice & home affairs, finance, regional development, as well as sectoral restructuring.
My professional experience covering 30 years has been gained in developing economies and economies in transition in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, for a large number of international bi- and multilateral organizations, including DfID, Dutch Development Cooperation, EU, FAO, IFC, GIZ, Norwegian Aid and UNDP.
I have more than 15 years of M&E experience encompasses both leading M&E assignments in the field and the development of M&E systems. A specialty concerns the identification and formulation of key performance indicators, including researching baseline data and the framing of benchmarks. I am fully conversant with project cycle management methodology, as well the latest development in M&E, including results-chain and theory-of-change.
I have highly developed interview skills gained in a variety of cultural settings, which combined with outstanding documentation review and statistical skills, are honed to arrive at sophisticated analytical results. I know how to deliver high-quality, user-friendly M&E reports, which effectively collocate and present the contributions and findings of professionals with widely varying backgrounds and fields of expertise.
