My work experience includes the development and implementation of quality assurance methods and tools for draft and final evaluation TORs and reports, including the development and implementation of the UNICEF corporate Global Evaluation Report Oversight System (GEROS). I conducted several Meta-Evaluations for UNICEF evaluation office and one of their regional offices, focused on quality aspects of Evaluation Reports, including the use of gender equity and human rights based approaches, making use of the organizational tool concerned, and providing recommendations on how to enhance the evaluation function at corporate and country office level. These multiple meta-analysis have sharpened my desk review and analytical capacity.
My approach to evaluation quality assurance has been informed by my experience in leading and managing evaluations of development programming, including country programmes, organizational strategies, partnerships, and global and regional level meta- and thematic evaluations.
