Good programs are built on good listening.
I'm Diana Muthoni Mboi, a Nairobi-based researcher and program professional working across monitoring & evaluation, qualitative research, and community engagement for youth empowerment initiatives. I sit where the data lives: the FGD room, the intake form, the training report, the indicator tracker.
How I work
I listen first, then help make the findings useful.
Good fieldwork depends on asking clear questions and giving people room to answer in their own words. I work with focus groups, interviews, surveys, and program teams to understand what is happening beyond the spreadsheet.
The result is well-organized information that is easier to discuss, report, and use.

"The best program data comes from listening first: hearing what a training room actually needs before opening a spreadsheet. That is the standard I hold my work to."
