My academic and professional career echoes my ambition to understand the fascinating socioeconomic mechanisms in developing countries at a microeconomic level, especially on topics related to ICTs, employment and climate change.
My PhD consisted in investigating the digital shift in Sub-Saharan Africa and understanding how it is transforming the business environment. Coordinating a unique mixed survey in Dakar (Senegal) and shedding light on specific effects of mobile phones on economic performances has awakened a great thirst to understand what works and what doesn't help the vulnerable population's in the global south.
This is why, today, I am a monitoring & evaluation specialist at C4ED where I am responsible for designing and conducting impact evaluations as well as disseminating the results. in the past years I have been leading impact evaluations on projects implemented in Sub-Saharan Africa (Ethiopia, Uganda, Lesotho, The Gambia, Guinea, Benin, Senegal) and Central America (Ecuador, Mexico and Barbados) with a wide arraw of clients (such as the EU, GIZ, Enabel, ITC, UNICEF, GCF) and topics (employment, education, migration, climate change and health).
My aim is to pursue my career in using rigorous tools to raise awarness on what works, for whom and when, shape future policies and improve the efficiency of the resources invested in development.
The Center for Evaluation and Development (C4ED) was commissioned by the European Emergency Trust Fund (EUTF) to conduct the evaluation of selected EUTF supported projects in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The evaluation focused on activities under EUTF Strategic Objective (SO) 1 on improving the economic and employment opportunities in the Sahel and Lake Chad (SLC) and Horn of Africa (HoA) windows.
