Initiate, develop and direct evaluation programs and processes.

Work with CHEER/project leadership to identify evaluation priorities and relevant indicators and metrics. Develop data collection tools. Assist with the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and evaluate the causes behind deviations from and modifications to existing SOPs. Integrate best practices into the design, implementation and evaluation of organizational SOPs.
