    Based in Cusco, Peru, LAFF (Latin American Foundation for the Future) provide education and vocational training support for marginalised young people and support the organisational sustainability of 4 local partner organisations through income-generation, cost reduction initiatives and capacity building for their staff. I implemented LAFF's M&E framework; collecting, analysing and reporting the quantitative & qualitative data to the board of trustees. My findings informed LAFF's strategic planning, and I began the next evaluation cycle by identifying gaps in what we wanted to achieve and the indicators we were using to measure it. I collaborated closely with local Peruvian organizations which improved my Spanish significantly, and I gained a lot of experience in querying databases then presenting the data in pivot tables.
  • Asa Initiative
    Microfinance Intern
    Asa Initiative Jun 2015 - Sep 2015
    Cape Coast, Ghana
    I interned at a microfinance FNGO in Cape Coast, Ghana where I was able to gain experience in the microfinance sector and use in practice the theoretical knowledge I gained throughout university. I initially learned the logistics of running a microfinance organization, but quickly identified that ASA’s annual ‘social performance review’ had some methodological gaps and could be improved. I used my knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods to design a survey which collated statistics (used to calculate the multidimensional poverty index) and qualitative feedback from ASA’s clients.I assembled the results in a report, which showed that ASA’s clients were more likely to be rural, women and MPI poor than the general population, achieving ASA’s social targets. On the other hand, it was identified that the poorest of the poor could benefit from more flexible repayment schedules and more reliable disbursement.I faced considerable challenges in minimising evaluator bias from political and logistical sources, but as my first foray into monitoring & evaluation it cemented my decision to do a masters degree in impact evaluation. Also, based on my time with ASA I wrote a successful essay on the difference between the affirmative and transformative changes in poverty yielded by microfinance, and my third year dissertation on the topic of the financialization of poverty through microfinance in West Africa.
