What I'm looking for

I seek a senior MEL role where I can lead integrated monitoring systems, drive data-driven decisions, mentor teams, and support equitable, context-sensitive programming across multi-country humanitarian or development portfolios.

I am a results-oriented Regional Programs Manager with over eight years of progressive experience designing and strengthening Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) systems across multi-country humanitarian and international development programs in Africa. I specialise in integrated MEL frameworks, theory of change development, impact evaluation design, and KPI measurement to support evidence-based decision-making.

I have led complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives aligned with UN and INGO funding systems, embedding data governance, data quality assurance, organisational learning, and knowledge management into project lifecycles. I build dashboards and leverage data analytics tools to surface performance trends and deliver actionable insights to senior leadership.

I am committed to equity-driven, context-sensitive approaches that centre Global South priorities, with sector experience spanning public health, food security, livelihoods, and climate resilience. I combine technical oversight, capacity building, and field deployment experience to strengthen programme performance and adaptive management.
