Expectation State

It was fantastic for us to visit SOAS University of London this week to give a guest lecture to Risk & Policy Analysis students on the realities of monitoring and evaluation in today's world. With thanks to Ziya Meral for the invitation.

Raymond Asfour talked through a range of subjects, from the realities of evaluating increasingly political aid to the effect colonialism still has on international development.

Our evaluation practice continues to deliver some exciting work under Augustus Emenogu's leadership. If you'd like to chat about it, feel free to reach out!

As we have grown it has become clear that evaluation belongs at the heart of Expectation State. We are delighted to now welcome Augustus Emenogu as a Partner, leading our evaluation portfolio.

Augustus has led Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) functions in over 40 countries across a diverse range of technical areas, including private-sector development, democracy and governance, education, internet freedom, humanitarian assistance, emergency response, post-conflict stabilization, food security and resilience, disability inclusion, reproductive health, protection, and gender-based violence.

From his base in Ghana, Augustus has designed and led monitoring services and conducted evaluation studies globally for a host of donors, including the World Bank, USAID LAB/OI, US State Department, GIZ, German Cooperation, USAID BHA, USDOL, FCDO, EU, European Union Commission (EUC), ECHO, NORAD, SDC, SIDA, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Government of Indonesia, Government of Japan, and Government of Nigeria, Commonwealth Secretariat, UNDP, UN Women, Kimberly Clark Corporation, German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Qatar Foundation, and the International Association for Blindness Prevention (IABP).

We are really excited to see where our evaluation journey takes us and thrilled that it will be under Augustus’ leadership. Should you want to discuss all things impact and evaluation-related - feel free to reach out!

We are looking for co-owners, not employees.

We are beginning our search for a Climate Partner, to lead the establishment and growth of our climate portfolio at Expectation State.
