Presentation

I am a Senior Economist working at the World Bank, where I am the Deputy Head of the Africa Gender Innovation Lab (GIL). I support African women and girls to achieve equality by learning what does and does not work to close gender gaps in earnings, productivity, assets, and agency, and using these insights to shape policy. 

I currently lead several impact evaluations aiming to identify and address gender-based constraints to economic activity in sub-Saharan Africa. I also lead the conceptualization and execution of the GIL research uptake strategy within the World Bank and with selected external partners; and supervise all research uptake analysts and research analysts within the team.

Before joining the World Bank, I was a PhD candidate and Research Fellow at the Paris School of Economics, where my research focused on nutrition, child mortality, fertility and gender preferences in Africa. I hold a PhD from the Paris School of Economics.

Fields of interest: Development economics, Gender, Impact Evaluations, Applied Microeconomics, Agriculture, Skills Formation, Health and Economic History.
