John Macharia

I lead research, evaluation, MEL, data analytics and policy analysis through DAREL Consulting, building evidence services from research design and digital data collection through analysis, reporting and decision-making.

At KELIN, I led mixed-methods research, monitoring and learning across digital health, governance, human rights and access to justice, contributing to multi-country studies, peer-reviewed publications and policy-facing research outputs. I also strengthened research data systems and built staff and field-team capacity in digital data collection, quality assurance and evidence use.

Previously, at Kenya’s National Treasury, I translated fiscal, economic and administrative data into evidence for budgeting, fiscal decentralization and intergovernmental policy. Across 25+ research and evaluation assignments, I’ve applied econometrics, impact evaluation and mixed methods while training and supervising 150+ enumerators and research personnel.
