about.

I’m a development economist and a Research Fellow at the International Food Policy Institute (IFPRI). I’m based in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia where I work in the Ethiopia Strategy Support Program (ESSP) and IFPRI's Development Strategy and Governance (DSG) Division. 

​My current research focuses on nutrition and food security. This work is mostly based on the collection and statistical analysis of large household surveys. I'm also involved in evaluating large-scale development programs in Ethiopia, such as the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP).
