A graduate of CERDI (International Development Research Centre) in Clermont-Ferrand (France), Marie specializes in development economics and project analysis. This selective master’s degree provided her with the skills required to apply project management and analysis tools and applied research methodologies to development economics-related issues.
Marie began her career working in a Colombian NGO, which enabled her to quickly familiarize herself with the Latin American context. She subsequently joined Hydroconseil, where she has been applying her socio-economic, institutional and statistical expertise to water and sanitation access improvement projects since 2019.
Marie also specializes in conducting international-level evaluations of water, sanitation and hygiene projects/programmes. Having worked on evaluations for NGOs, as well as for large development agencies (UNESCO, UNICEF, AFD), she has experience of using a range of evaluation approaches, methodologies and tools, which she is able to adapt to a wide range of fields of study and contexts.
Since July 2021, Marie has been based in Colombia, where she is working with Nexsom, notably providing technical assistance to AFD on water and risk management as part of the Euroclima+ programme being implemented across Latin America and the Caribbean. This is enabling her to build in-depth knowledge of the water and sanitation sector in several countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
