Sawsan Al-Zatari

Evaluation Consultant and Learning Facilitator

I have a thing about stories. I love to listen to them, learn from them, and apply them to my life. People usually share their stories with me while sitting on the plane, for example, preparing for a workshop or at a busy dinner with different people that yield eclectic stories.

I also like to share stories, and the one below is mine.

I started my career as an urban planner but then switched to evaluation and never looked back. The first three months of my M&E career, I was googling “how to develop an M&E plan” and “how to write an outcome”. From then onwards, I took several training programs, volunteered with various evaluation networks, and connected with like-minded evaluators, from all over the world, who taught me a great deal about evaluation and the skills I needed to be a strong evaluator.

I am here to help share what I learned with you from my 15 years plus as a practitioner. Whether through running a full evaluation or through facilitating learning sessions and trainings.
