M&E Consultant Resources

[Fonda Sanchez]

Hello Everyone! 

I am interested in applying for consultant positions that are focused on gender and evaluation. I was hoping to find a colleague out there in this forum who has budget templates, or proposal/bidding guides? This might seem like a simple thing to create, and I agree, it would just be helpful to see examples that folks have used so that I don't find myself leaving something out in my budget for example. Also, any suggestions or advice on strengthening a proposal or resume that is targeting a consultant position would also be helpful. As a budding consultant, I appreciate it! 

A little bit about me:

I have previous experience with M&E and carrying out research among programs focused on violence against women and girls education, primarily in India. Currently I work with immigrant and refugee communities for an organization in Portland, OR. I have attended several professional trainings on gender-based violence, specifically when working in refugee camps, in the context of migration, and when conducting research or creating research based projects among women/girls. 

Thank you, and also must say very thankful for this website! Even though this is my first time posting, I have browsed and followed the updates since joining. 

Best, 

Fonda
