• Analyze and present findings in clear, evidence-based reports, policy briefs, and presentations tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Offer strategic, data-driven recommendations that influence program design and policy decision-making.

Requirements

• A Master’s degree or PhD in Economics, Public Policy, Development Studies, or a related discipline.
