I also work as an MEL professional and have designed and conducted various evaluation projects including those with a gendered focus. I work across both qualitative and quantitative methodologies especially in mixed method evaluations. I am an ardent supporter of research for a purpose and therefore regularly carry out research studies with a public interest focus. My teaching interests lie mainly in Research Methodology, Public Policy, Health Economics, Monitoring and Evaluation and Econometrics. II also manage my boutique research firm called Citizen Ecofinalytics which works exclusively with NGOs and Social Purpose Organizations in the area of Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning.
