My name is Lucia Conti. At the moment I am joining the course from Brussels, but in a couple of weeks I will go back to Ecuador. I work for AVSI Foundation, an Italian ONG and I am currently in charge for developing new projects an initiatives in Ecuador. In the past I was for five years the EU focal point for AVSI, based in Brussels. My goals for the course is to improve my knowledge and skills in monitoring and evaluation, since within my organization I would like to focus on measuring results and impact. I am interested in joining a team, in order to share experiences and insights. My previous experiences in monitoring and evaluation derived from my work as external consultant in Sierra Leone where I carried out an ex post evaluation of a project on youth employment funded by the World Bank. I have also been program manager in Guatemala where I applied qualitative methods and tools for measuring the satisfactions and perceptions of the beneficiaries towards the actions. In Brussels I supported CONCORD, a network of 2.600 ONGs to design the methodology for monitoring the relations between EUDs and CSOs in the countries.

Hi Lucia, I hope we could form a team along with a few others of course. I believe I stand to gain a lot from your our immense experience, knowledge, skills and insight. My own experience in M&E is really self taught on the job.

Living as a refugee made me realise that the best gift one can ever give to a community is a gift, I started a school where I help children by providing primary education, I am a director being helped by 7 support staffs. My hope for this course is to be equipped with essential skills to be able to make impact in the children under my care. It is my pleasure working with the team of this course in order to benefit more. I have no experience in this course but I am willing to do best to learn from others. Thanks

Hello
My name is Fredrick Okungu and am joining from Nairobi, Kenya. Currently, am not working for any organization but I have previously worked for UN Women as an intern and the latest one being the National Democratic Institute as a Project Assistant. My main goal for enrolling in this course is to gain knowledge and skills in monitoring and evaluation as it forms a critical aspect of any program work.
