Francesca Demetriou

Lirata
Evaluator
Melbourne, Australia

I’m an early career evaluator with a background in social research. I have worked with NFPs, NGOs and government across a range of different sectors, including health, housing and homelessness, education, employment, and refugee settlement services. I’m especially interested in methods of synthesising data into evaluative conclusions and evaluation capacity building for resource-poor grassroots initiatives.
