Furthermore, I believe in the importance of disseminating these insights to benefit the broader sector.

PROFILE – Personal attributions.
I am MUSIHO ABDALA, an experienced Education, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Research Specialist with over 15 years of expertise in applied research, project monitoring, and evaluation. Throughout my career, I have held several senior project management positions, including Monitoring and Evaluation Team Lead, Senior Researcher, Socio-Economic Analyst, Senior Data Analyst, Technical Advisor, and Monitoring & Evaluation Manager. My skillset includes the development of Theories of Change and Logical Frameworks/Results-Based Frameworks, the establishment of robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems, Outcome Harvesting, and the facilitation of MEAL training sessions. Additionally, I have conducted Training Needs Assessments and produced training videos to support capacity building initiatives.
My professional expertise encompasses a range of areas, including Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and Educational Project Management and evaluation, report writing and presentation, critical thinking and analysis, framework design, and strong organizational skills. I possess a solid foundation in statistics and research analysis, team building and training, organizational capacity assessment, and the development of tools that integrate gender considerations. Additionally, I have undertaken assignments in the areas of WASH, livelihood, food security and nutrition, peace building, and gender mainstreaming, among other relevant fields. I am particularly passionate about creating systems and processes that facilitate the collection of meaningful data to demonstrate impact while aligning with the organization's capacity and resources. I recognize that monitoring and evaluation (M&E) serve as pivotal opportunities not only to showcase outcomes but also to reflect on program experiences, derive valuable insights, and incorporate these learnings into both major and minor program iterations. Furthermore, I believe in the importance of disseminating these insights to benefit the broader sector.
