About

I joined CABI in 2014 as a Monitoring and Evaluation specialist under the Optimizing Fertilizer Recommendations for Africa (OFRA) project.

I am now a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer in Africa where my role intersects various projects in CABI Africa. I work with Project Managers and project teams to develop methods and tools for monitoring key indicators itemized in the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) to ensure that project KPIs are aligned with the CABI-wide KPIs.

Within my role, I ensure that monitoring and evaluation plans embed broader concepts, accommodate evaluation research objectives and are closely integrated with the regional Project Implementation Plans and research strategies. In order to report progress against work plans, milestones, and to national collaborators and donors, I ensure country-level monitoring and reporting procedures are operating efficiently and effectively, with information compiled quarterly.

I am involved in developing appropriate methodologies, including outcome indicators, for monitoring and evaluation studies and lead backstop studies while supporting the implementation of baseline surveys and capacity-building activities.

I work closely with regional project teams and sub-grantees to ensure gender perspectives are mainstreamed in country activities. I also document experiences which are then shared to ensure lessons learned are used to improve effectiveness and sustainable plant health systems.

To promote CABI’s project and programme work within the region and globally, I contribute to writing publications, reports, articles and scientific papers.

I support other teams within CABI with designing data collection tools developed by CABI. Furthermore, I contribute towards new project development and the upscaling of projects for CABI in Africa.
