Two new colleagues at the NCEA!

23 March 2021

It is with great pleasure that we welcome two new colleagues to our international team:

• Ms Emmy Dortant (L), is since July 2020 our new PMEL (Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning)- manager. She has a master's degree in International Development studies with a focus on food security. Before the NCEA she worked at the Dutch development organisation Cordaid, on the management of an agricultural development and women’s economic empowerment project in Uganda. She’s looking forward to contribute to the effectiveness of our work through continuous monitoring and supporting internal learning.
• Ms Edy Blom (R), is since February 2021 our new technical secretary. She holds master's degrees in Social Geography and Physical Geography. Edy has broad experience in environment and development related studies and in management and evaluation of development projects and programmes. Before joining the NCEA, she worked for the Shared Resources, Joined Solutions programme at IUCN NL. She is looking forward to use her earlier experiences with stakeholder engagement and landscape approach to strengthen the contribution of environmental assessment to good governance.
