Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence
The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Join DME for Peace on Thursday, April 25th at 10:00am EDT, as Rotary Fellow, Michelle Helman, hosts the M&E Thursday Talks to lead discussion on “Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning from the Inside-Out.”
Participatory evaluation, development, and peacebuilding methods aim to decolonize top-down approaches by integrating inclusive, bottom-up practice which can unintentionally reinforce asymmetrical power dynamics. Michelle Helman will address how applying ‘inside-out’ evaluation tools in collaborative monitoring, evaluation, and learning (ME&L) practice can transform this obstacle into opportunity.
Michelle draws from experience monitoring the 2016 Colombian Peace Accord with Kroc Institute and her own research on peacebuilding evaluation as a Rotary Peace Fellow. She encourages participants to examine, engage with, and re-imagine their own tools and practice. She will offer opportunities to explore how, together, we can co-create definitions of commonly used vocabulary, check our assumptions, and ground theory in lived experience to design and integrate collaborative evaluation tools.
A learning outcome for participants is to have increased awareness of- and the capacity to- engage in collaborative ME&L, from the inside-out. Following the presentation, participants are encouraged to ask questions and discuss how to best apply these skills within their own practice.
