Simon okola

I am a strategic MEAL and research professional with over five years of experience in program effectiveness, data analysis, curriculum design, and impact evaluation across humanitarian and development settings. I have successfully improved data accuracy by 47% through the implementation of standardization protocols and led the delivery of over 80 training sessions that enhanced instructional effectiveness by 23%. My experience includes managing multi-country evaluations and multi-sectoral data collection initiatives across five continents, overseeing budgets exceeding $2.5 million and coordinating teams of up to 30 members.

In my current role as a MEAL and Research Specialist at Sevens Frontiers, I integrated MEAL systems into nine proposals, resulting in a 23% increase in successful donor funding. I have conducted numerous data quality assessments and led countrywide evaluations that provided evidence-based insights for program realignment. My commitment to enhancing compliance with MEAL protocols is evident through my delivery of virtual technical support and mentorship to field teams. I am passionate about utilizing my skills in remote MEAL, M&E consultancy, curriculum development, or data analysis roles focused on evidence-driven impact.
