A graduate of the Centre d’Etudes et de Recherche sur le Développement International, Marie specialises in development economics and project analysis. She has thus developed solid skills in management tools and research methodologies applied to development economics issues.

In Colombia, Marie became involved with an NGO and quickly familiarised herself with the Latin American context. She joined Global Development in 2019, where she applies her socio-economic, institutional and statistical expertise to projects aimed at improving access to drinking water and sanitation services.

She specialises in conducting evaluations of projects/programmes in the water, sanitation and hygiene sectors and contributes to evaluations for NGOs, development institutions and bilateral and multilateral cooperation agencies (UNESCO, UNICEF, AFD, IDB). Her mastery of evaluation approaches, methodologies and tools enables her to adapt them to a wide variety of fields and contexts.

Since July 2021, Marie has also been a technical assistant at AFD for the implementation of the European EUROCLIMA programme across Latin America and the Caribbean for the management of water and natural risks. This has given her a detailed knowledge of the water and sanitation sector in several Latin American and Caribbean countries, as well as of the mechanisms of international cooperation and its players (donors, NGOs, beneficiary institutions, etc.).
