About Eduard Bonet

I have two decades experience and growth for timely and quality evidence for better decisions. My work strengthens evidence-oriented management and programming, in the academia, the international development sector, including humanitarian and development contexts; in low, middle and high income countries. I built a varied wide network of strong and trustworthy relations, as programme manager and leader, building and maintaining strategic partnerships, mobilising resources, managing human resources and external relations. I mostly add value by linking strategic thinking and direction with technical mastery for adequate and timely execution; to identify relevant priorities, manage and implement programmes, from evaluation and evidence generation and use, to data management and governance to information systems. I am used to adapting to challenging environments and conditions, working with multiple teams with varied capacities and skills, to deliver results and influence adaptive strategic priorities.
