I had more than 10 years’ experience in designing, developing and managing the monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) for different sustainable development programs. Together with the inputs from M&E Specialists, I worked with different clients to ensure proper monitoring, data quality assessment (DQA), evaluation, reporting and knowledge management (KM). We developed MEL plan, designed monitoring and evaluation system and integrate our existing M&E system into the Development Information Solutions (DIS) initiated by USAID (see Figure xxx). In addition, I worked with different implementing partners and the project’s team members to conduct performance assessment and impact evaluation for the program. I also worked with MEL specialist to upload data and reports to the TrainNET, Development Experience Clearinghouse.
Under the GMS-CEP, I provided technical inputs to design M&E indicators for the Biodiversity Landscapes and Livelihoods Component; conducted the baseline assessment of the key non-timber forest product (NTFP) value chains in six GMS countries as well as the mid-term evaluation of the GMS-CEP-Phase 2 in 2015 in close collaboration with the National Support Units of six GMS countries. Under the SUFORD, I provided technical support to formulate M&E indicators and targets for the Sustainable Forest and Village Development Component. I also led the M&E team to successfully conduct the livelihood impact assessment of the of the SUFORD in 2012.
In addition, I served as the Team Leader for the post-evaluation of Local Economic Development (using “Compass Tool”) for the VIE 023 Quang Dien Local Development Project, Hue, Vietnam, funded by the Government of Luxembourg. I also played a Team-Leader role to conduct ex-post monitoring and evaluation for Microfinance Scheme on handicraft Market Development Project in Aluoi district, T.T. Hue, Vietnam, funded by the Indigenous People Fund of the World Bank (Grantee ID: 803642).
I enhanced his M&E knowledge through two comprehensive official training courses on M&E Public Policy Monitoring and Evaluation (under my PhD Program) and Monitoring and Evaluation for Development Projects (under my Master Program). As a result, I designed an M&E Framework to measure of the PFES Policy in Vietnam (See Figure xxx). I also completed the Intermediate Quantitative Method course with the outstanding result (A+ score under the Master Program). These theory knowledge and empirical skills have enabled me to be competent M&E professional.
