Managing for Development Results

Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation

Languages: English, Dutch

Working for a local NGO in Sri Lanka, I discovered some of the challenges of development cooperation; the good intensions versus sustainable change, quick fixed versus long term solutions, poverty versus the pressure to spend all the allocated money in the given time - to name a few. The challenges of development cooperation appeal like no other sector does. For that reason I started working for MDF Training & Consultancy some years after my experiences in Sri Lanka. Not with the intension to solve the problems but to face the challenges and apply the lessons learned.

Due to my background as Sociologist, I always try to find the factors that move and bind (or oppose) people. With this focus as starting point of my work as trainer and consultant, I focus on people, as the drivers of change. Staying up to date with changes in development cooperation, I am able to facilitate processes in line with the newest management conviction: Managing for Development Result. Based on the Paris Declaration, my planning, monitoring and evaluation exercises stay - as much as possible - in line with the concepts of the declaration.

Recent consultancy jobs done for MDF were e.g. Joint Sector Review for government of Suriname, facilitation of the Social Economic Initiative at Sint Maarten and a long term consultancy in Ghana, facilitating monitoring and evaluation in one of the many Nuffic NPT projects MDF is coordinating.
Training courses conducted I have conducted are specifically in the field of planning, monitoring and evaluation (different methods) or managing for development result in general.

Moreover, I am specialised in data collection and analysis.

Project Cycle Management, financial management

Languages: English, Dutch

My interest in development co-operation was raised during my studies in tropical agriculture and rural development. After an initial start in my professional life in flower production in Uganda, I have shifted to rural development.

I have a special interest in rural development and organisational theory, especially the relation between organisational culture, rural development and organisational development and change. Working with rural development professionals, I quickly discovered that the embedding of new techniques within an organisation in a sustainable manner proved to be far more complicated than first thought. This kind of experience has triggered my interests in the functioning of organisations. What excites me is to see how various actors in the development arena are able to organise themselves and bring about change.

I joined MDF in 2007. Previously, I have worked for a small university focussing on rural development. Within this setting I have focussed on organisational culture and behaviour, mainstreaming and change processes and actor network development. I have worked with rural development practitioners in various regions in Africa and South Asia on capacity building in livelihood and stakeholder analysis and HIV/AIDS mainstreaming.
