What I'm looking for

I am looking for a senior MEL role where I can lead design and implementation of robust MEL systems, build partner capacity, use data to inform program strategy, and contribute to inclusive youth employment outcomes.

I am a seasoned Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) specialist and regional coordinator with six years of experience leading data-driven decision-making for national-scale development programs. I currently provide MEL technical oversight for the Ajira Digital Program in partnership with government and major development partners.

I design and operationalize MEL frameworks, theories of change, KPIs, digital data-collection systems and dashboards using tools like Excel, Power BI and KoboToolbox, while building partner capacity and ensuring high-quality, verifiable data for donor reporting. My work has supported youth employment outcomes through training, mentorship and rigorous performance monitoring across multiple counties.

I am passionate about inclusive, evidence-based learning and applying MERL insights to inform program adaptation, policy alignment and continuous improvement. I bring strong qualitative and quantitative analysis, report writing, knowledge management and stakeholder collaboration skills to deliver measurable impact.
