In one paragraph
I’m Victor Mandela Mokaya, a monitoring, evaluation and data science consultant based in Nairobi, Kenya. I turn complex research and programme data into decision-support tools — most often live R Shiny dashboards — for M&E teams, health and nutrition programmes, food security analysts, agricultural researchers and funders. I care about rigour that survives contact with real decisions: honest uncertainty, context-specific findings, and tools that are still being used a year later.
What I bring
- Monitoring & evaluation and impact evaluation — frameworks, indicators, monitoring and evaluation plans, counterfactual and RCT design, heterogeneity of effects.
- Analytics & modelling — statistical testing (ANOVA, Tukey HSD, regression), predictive modelling assessed against the decision it serves, survey-weighted DHS analysis, MPI computation.
- Data integration & GIS — joining survey, programme, routine, soil (SoilGrids), rainfall (CHIRPS) and spatial data; Leaflet and sf mapping.
- Field data systems — KoboToolbox, SurveyCTO, ODK and DHIS2; protocol design, data quality assurance, field logistics.
- Leadership & training — I manage field-based quantitative data collection, train teams, and coach professionals in evaluation, research, analysis and generative AI.
Selected work
