What defines us
We are a women’s cooperative who believe in collective knowledge. We bring different but complementary knowledge and experiences in terms of skills and awareness.
We have chosen a non-profit social-enterprise model that keeps our co-workers, our clients and the people they work with at the centre.
We promote evaluation and learning-based processes that can help our client institutions to better understand their results and improve their interventions. We are deeply invested in growing our knowledge and sharing what we learn.
We believe that excellence and rigour in our work are compatible with closeness and empathy with our clients.
We craft a specifically tailored process for each project and see these as unique learning opportunities.
Law graduate, expert in Public Policy Evaluation with a Master’s in International Cooperation and Development from the Complutense University of Madrid. My professional career has been focused on the field of development cooperation and social action from the perspective of different national and international public and private actors and international organisations. In 2006 I began my experience in the field of evaluation, with a particular interest in promoting learning and reflection. I have conducted evaluations and case studies in different sectors including education, health, economic development and advocacy. My background in project and programme management gives me a real-world understanding of the design and implementation processes and multiple other factors that influence the changes that development interventions seek to promote.
A Law graduate, I specialised in international protection of human rights. Over the 20 years of my professional career I have gained experience in different fields and worked as a policy advisor for many different national and international organisations. Since 2009 I have been working in evaluation of international development cooperation and advocacy projects and initiatives. These many years working in the field of evaluation have allowed me to explore a range of approaches and methodologies, mainly qualitative, such as process tracing, contribution analysis and outcome harvesting. I am particularly interested in the complexity of transformative processes and policy change initiatives that promote equity and equal rights, areas in which I feel particularly committed and comfortable.
I have a degree in Contemporary History, a diploma in Humanitarian Action and a Master’s in Gender and Development. I have been working since 1999 in international cooperation for development and local social action, supporting processes of research, evaluation, capacity-building, and strategic thinking and planning. I bring to the organisations with which I collaborate my experience and knowledge in the gender-feminist approach and women’s rights, as well as participatory and inclusive working methods.

A significant part of my work has been focused on gender violence and violence against children supporting institutions such as UNICEF, UNFPA, UN Women and Doctors of the World, among others, in the development of strategies, evaluation exercises and participatory research.
