Blog #102: Fellow Dorcus Acheng

Dorcus Acheng was awarded an AllPeopleBeHappy Fellows Program grant in November of 2016.  She is working with Spark MicroGrants as a Monitoring and Evaluation Fellow to serve in Spark’s Northern Uganda office.  Dorcus was working as an M&E intern for 6-months in 2016 and has offered invaluable support to the northern Uganda team in data collection, data entry and quality control.  Dorcus shows great potential for growth and Spark is eager to bring her on as a fellow to continue building her capacity and have her support on their data management.  Spark’s Northern Uganda program serves over ten villages and is one of the highest need regions of the country.  Dorcus is an important team member in ensuring that Spark facilitators are collecting high quality data from community partners and monitoring community progress through the Spark process.  Over the course of her year-long fellowship, Spark will provide hands-on professional development opportunities to build her skills in data analysis and project management.
