Our team and network include experienced professionals with a wide range of advisory and on-field experience, as well as relationships with trusted data collection partners across our countries of operation.
Methodica Consulting was founded by Monica Gazzola and Luca Franchi and includes a network of professionals with a cumulative 100+ years of experience in monitoring, evaluation, and research across developing countries in a wide range of thematic areas, including countering violent extremism (CVE), governance, migration, military operations, stabilisation and peacekeeping.
Monica has advanced expertise in actor-centred approaches and behaviour change-focused methodologies, both in monitoring and evaluation. She led the design and implementation of 15+ evaluations, deploying an array of approaches and methods: OECD-DAC, realist evaluation, outcome harvesting, theory-based (e.g., COM-B Model), thematic assessments, portfolio, project and country evaluations. Before founding Methodica, Monica worked as technical consultant for Ministries of Defence and International Organisations (e.g., UK MoD, UN MINUSMA/MONUSCO).
