I support the management of the M&E function at the 24 African Centres of Excellence (ACEs) within East and Southern Africa. The IUCEA is the Regional Facilitation Unit (RFU) for the ACE II project with ACEs in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. I oversee data collection and reporting, and aggregate reports from all the ACEs into project reports. I supervised the design of an online reporting portal. To date, all centres are able to able to submit data into the system, and the project is able to validate the data and share feedback with the ACEs.

This was a short term consultancy to design an end-line evaluation of the Multinational Lakes Edward & Albert Integrated Fisheries & Water Resources Management Project (LEAF II) cross-border project. I assessed the relevance of the project development objective and project design, analysed progress towards the project development objectives (outcomes and outputs) and prepared the project completion report.

This was a short term consultancy to support the Northern Uganda Rights, Peace and Reconciliation Programme of the Acholi Religious Leaders’ Peace Initiative (ARLPI), supported by the Royal Danish Embassy. I prepared an inception report detailing the study design and evaluation criteria based on the project theory of change and international standards, and data collection tools. Using the data from focus group discussions with community-based Peace Committees, religious and political leaders across the Acholi sub region, I prepared a mid-term report. I tabled the preliminary findings for stakeholders’ validation, and incorporated feedback into the final report.

As a short term consultant, I supported the World Bank - Uganda Skills Development Project at the Ministry of Education and Sports. I developed an intervention tracking matrix to track and update implementation progress in accordance with the project Annual work plan, procurement plan and contract management schedules.I also contributed to the drafting of the Civil works and Environment Social Safeguards supervision and monitoring plan, including the development of a reporting format, risks register and progress monitoring table.

With my management of the web-based infrastructure monitoring platform and integrated inspection system, we achieved a regularly updated results framework that contributed to accurate reporting on all project indicator targets. Similarly, I managed the independent verification of achieved disbursement linked indicators (DLIs) by a third-party verifier, which triggered a disbursement of USD 35.4M from the World Bank.

I coordinated the project close out for the USAID Uganda Strengthening Decentralization for Sustainability Project, Cardno Emerging Markets, USA. The process included the preparation of district specific factsheets and result dissemination meetings for 35 districts. Having updated and finalised the project's M&E standard operating procedures, I was able to ensure a more effective collection and analysis of end of project data. I participated in writing the end of project report and designed a final project results framework for capturing annual achievements.
