Sarah Kambites (Chief Operating Officer (COO) at the United Nations Association in Canada)
" In my role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) at the United Nations Association in Canada (UNA-Canada), I had the pleasure of collaborating with Koyali Burman. I recruited her as an independent consultant to perform an evaluation of UNA-Canada's youth engagement projects focusing on sustainable employment and digital literacy and equity. Koyali strived to gain a broad understanding of the goal, objectives and expected impact of the two projects, drafted and shared with my team an evaluation framework for input and clarification. She participated and engaged virtually with diverse demographics of the projects, and specifically with the targeted youth participants. Koyali wrapped up the consultancy with a report with recommendations on the best way to improve on project implementation.
I found Koyali to be passionate about evaluation processes, using triangulated approaches to gain as much information as possible to draw conclusions. She is an incredibly active listener, empathic and respectful of diversity and individual differences.
These unique qualities generated trust among those she interacted with. She demonstrated professional discipline working within the budgetary constraints of a civil society organization. Her critical thinking and respect for timelines enabled her to perform an exception evaluation for UNA-Canada and faced with a similar need, I would hire her again without reservation.
I recommend Koyali to any organization seeking to engage a highly professional Evaluation Specialist".
