Currently serving as Managing Director at the Center for Evaluation and Development (C4ED), I am in charge of Project Acquisition, Client Relations and Project Management. Previously, I held a position as Assistant Professor for Economics at the African School of Economics (ASE) in Benin, Cotonou, where I also served as Director of the Institute for Empirical Research in Political Economy (IREEP). I graduated with a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Mannheim, Germany. I also hold Master’s degrees in Quantitative Economics from University Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne (Paris School of Economics) and in International Economics from Georgia-Augusta University Göttingen in Germany. My current research focuses on girls’ education and female empowerment in Africa.
