## About

```text
At Danish Refugee Council, I support the Uganda Refugee Resilience Initiative’s MEAL framework, including indicator tracking, database maintenance, and monitoring activities.

Previously, as a MEAL Assistant at African Women Rising, I coordinated digital data collection, conducted data quality assessments, and developed dashboards and analytical reports to inform programme decisions.

At International Rescue Committee, I supported assessments across 30 schools, monitored performance indicators, and contributed data analysis and summaries to donor reports.

I began working in research and monitoring with International Rescue Committee and War Child Holland, supporting VSLA data collection and PlayMatters research. I’m currently pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Monitoring and Evaluation at Gulu University.
