What I'm looking for

I seek a senior M&E or program role where I can lead data-driven program design, strengthen systems, mentor teams, and contribute to accountable, participatory humanitarian and development programming.

I am a dedicated Monitoring and Evaluation professional with over 14 years of experience leading M&E, program design, and implementation for development and humanitarian projects across Ethiopia. I have a strong track record in Results-Based Management, project cycle management, Logical Framework Analysis, and Theory of Change, and I consistently deliver improved program outputs through data-driven decision making and stakeholder engagement.

I have led grant proposal development, budgeting, participatory planning, and M&E system strengthening using tools such as Open Data Kit, SurveyCTO, Kobo, SPSS, Power BI, and Smartsheet. I bring mentoring and facilitation strengths, experience with Human-Centered Design and systems practice, and a commitment to high-quality, accountable programming that integrates crosscutting issues and engages government and community stakeholders.
