Research and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Intern

I am a Management Information Systems graduate placed at ICED through AWARD’s Young Impact Associates (YIA) Fellowship in Agrifood Systems. I support the Research and MEL teams with evidence synthesis, data quality and MEL capacity assessments, project coordination, and partner engagement.

“The YIA Fellowship showed me how research and MEL together shape better programmes.”

I am a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting graduate with practical experience supporting financial and operational functions at ICED. I am experienced in financial reporting, budget preparation and review, statutory tax computations, data analysis, and the use of accounting software, and I contribute to the organization’s financial processes while supporting smooth day-to-day operations.

Everlyn Njagi

ICED INTERN · 2026
Finance Intern

Economics and Statistics graduate with hands-on experience in financial reporting, programme support, and finance support. Skilled in turning data into clear insights, supporting day-to-day operations, and delivering accurate, timely work in fast-paced, evidence-driven environments.

Interning at ICED has taken me from theory to practice, handling financial reports, backing programme delivery, and turning numbers into insights teams can act on. As Helen Hayes said, 'The expert in anything was once a beginner'.

Lavenda Kwamboka

ICED INTERN · 2026
MEL Intern

I am a Sociology graduate and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Intern at ICED, passionate about social research, data-driven decision-making, and sustainable development. I am keen to strengthen my skills in monitoring and evaluation, contribute to evidence-based programmes, and use research and insights to drive meaningful social impact.

True impact lies not only in the change we create, but in the knowledge we gain and the lessons we carry forward.

ICED INTERN · 2026
Data Analyst

Detail-oriented Data Analyst Intern with a strong foundation in quantitative research and statistical modeling. Proficient in managing datasets, executing statistical tests, and creating visual reports using SPSS and Stata to support data-driven solutions.

“When I began this internship, I saw data as just numbers. I’m leaving with a new appreciation for how insights from both numbers and people’s stories can guide a team, sharpen its decisions, and help it succeed.”
