NGO Support
Writing an Logical Framework Analysis (LFA) for a Project Management class was for me as much an opportunity to master my spreadsheet skills (in order to squeeze everything into one page!) than to actually do something relevant to my profession. I was told monitoring and evaluation is one of the core sector of NGO work in which economists are useful. Instead of being thought of as a mere administrative requirement, good M&E cements donor relationships and ensures a project doesn't screw up all along without anybody noticing it. I think that's a pretty noble task.
Now... How do I do this? I found a good website that, after eldis.org, is probably the most useful site in development field work I've ever seen. It comprises a toolkit of actual practical stuff people have to do in such a position. In three languages.
