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.

Dear fellow evaluators. I am appealing for your help.

I have been on a long road towards finalizing my thesis towards a Masters degree in Evaluation. I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and am conducting the interview stage as part of my data collection. I am researching how context is integrated into evaluations that use the OECD DAC evaluation criteria. I feel very strongly about this subject because I feel this is an area that is often spoken of, called for but lacks practical application. I am looking at understanding this issue more in an attempt to hopefully improve our evaluation practice. If you have experience conducting evaluations using the OECD DAC criteria and are open to a 45-minute online call, I’d love to hear from you. Interviews will be confidential and scheduled at your convenience.
If you are willing to speak with me please comment here or message me directly or email me at natashavoronova@gmail.com.
As a gesture of gratitude, I would be happy to share my research findings with you and should there be enough interest, organize an online presentation and invite you to it. 
Thank you.
Natalia
