Training & mentoring

Strengthening research from question to use

I have delivered more than 100 courses and training sessions for researchers, government partners, funders, and implementing organizations across the Middle East and North Africa.

Training themes

  • Impact evaluation and randomized controlled trials
  • Research design and identification strategies
  • Evidence synthesis and evidence gap maps
  • Survey design and large-scale data collection
  • Evidence use for policy and program decisions
  • Research management, mentoring, and quality assurance

Mentoring

I mentor multidisciplinary research teams from question formulation and identification strategy through implementation, analysis, peer review, and policy communication. The aim is not only to complete a study, but to strengthen the systems and judgment that sustain rigorous work.
