What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep building monitoring and evaluation systems—especially CAPI tool design, data quality assurance, and analysis—so programs in Ghana can use reliable evidence for better decisions.

I’ve worked with ISSER, Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), MEDA, and METSS—collecting high-quality research data to support Ghana’s socioeconomic development and policy making.

At Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA), I’ve helped plan M&E for the GROW2 project, manage gender-disaggregated beneficiary monitoring and databases, and support research activities and reporting for decision-making.

I’ve also led CAPI tool work with KoboToolbox, including a GPS-based restriction mechanism that reduced data falsification. I transitioned the M&E unit from Excel-based analysis to STATA and have supported thousands of women smallholder farmers, entrepreneurs, and agribusinesses through evidence-informed interventions.
