Hello again! I am Lauren Serpe, chair of AEA’s Democracy, Human Rights and Governance (DRG) topical interest group, and Deputy Technical Director of the global Learning, Evidence and Impact team at Pact.

Hi fellow evaluators – I am Denise Baer, a political scientist, evaluator and gender expert.

Hello. My name is Jerim Obure. I am a Global Senior Specialist for Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning at International Justice Mission (IJM), a global CSO headquartered in Washington DC, working to strengthen justice systems around the globe for better protection of rights.

Hello, AEA – we are Prakhar Sharma and Keith Proctor of the International Republican Institute (IRI), a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that supports democracy worldwide.

Hello, we are Laura Adams, a MEL Director at Pact, and Sarya Sok, Acting Team Lead for Applied Learning and Evaluation at the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. We are fans of solving wicked MEL challenges in democracy, rights, and governance programs (aka pulling for the DRG underdogs with our MEL muscles).?

Good morning, evaluators! I am Lauren Serpe, chair of AEA’s Democracy, Human Rights and Governance (DRG) topical interest group, and Deputy Technical Director of the global Learning, Evidence and Impact team at Pact.
