Message

At Foundation for Development Management (FDM), I provide technical input on research design, sampling, data quality, analysis and reporting across baseline, midline, endline and thematic studies. I’ve contributed to more than 70 research, evaluation and monitoring assignments for development organisations in Nepal.

At Nepal Family Development Foundation, I built and managed core M&E and data-management processes for the Typhoid Vaccine Study, a cohort/RCT involving approximately 20,000 children. My work has also covered legal-aid data systems at The International Legal Foundation - Nepal and research, monitoring and analysis across education, livelihoods, health, climate and governance.
