Biography

Profile

I apply evaluation perspectives and frameworks to identify what works in solving pressing social problems. I am especially interested in the application of systems theory to understand why certain problems persist, despite the existence of programs and policies designed to address those problems, and to assist in the identification of areas where new policies or changes in existing policies may be beneficial. I recently completed a book that proposes the establishment of an international institution designed to combat corruption and improve governance in developing nations.
