I am an Associate Professor of Monitoring and Impact at Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich, UK. I have experiences in international development and research relating to poverty, livelihoods, agriculture, natural resource management, responsible business investments, social enterprises, climate change and sustainability certification in agricultural commodities. For over more than two decades, I have provided monitoring and evaluation support to organisations and programmes in many sectors. I have conducted numerous programme and performance evaluations, including evaluations of multi-partner, multi-country alliances, and networks. Similarly, I have facilitated design and implementation of monitoring, evaluation and learning systems. I have led on sustainability research in many agricultural commodities such as palm oil, cotton, soybean, cocoa, cashew, sugarcane, groundnut. Overall I have experiences in diverse monitoring and evaluation works using both qualitative and quantitative methods, statistical analysis, outcome mapping, contribution tracing, the theory of change-based impact evaluations, experimental (randomised control trials) and quasi-experimental research etc. I also have more than a decade of experiences in leading, advising (or being part of) projects working towards developing and upgrading agricultural and tree crop value chains. With many teams of colleagues, I have implemented value chain development, livelihoods, integrated water resource management and local economic development projects in India. I have long-term experience in India and professional experiences in many other countries in Africa, Asia – Sierra Leone, Zambia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Cambodia.
