This is what we’re about and who we are…
We’re passionate about co-creating the type of society we want to see
Our vision
Inspired by the vision of sustainable prosperity (societies where everyone thrives within planetary boundaries), RM3 Consulting is an individual (solo) enterprise dedicated to helping transformational changemakers like you clarify and measure the impact of your program on the people and/or the piece of the planet that it serves.
Not for its own sake but rather so that you can leverage the data and related tools to:
- make decisions based on the appropriate evidence, decisions that improve performance and achieve the most optimal, meaningful impact;
- strengthen your program’s storytelling into a compelling narrative about its ambition, strategy, and results;
- build trust and credibility;
- stand out to funders and other partners – in a good way (attract consistent funding and strong partnerships); and, ultimately,
- deepen impact
…thereby ensuring the wellbeing of the communities you serve while also strengthening your brand and the sustainability of your organization.
How we help
Whether your program happens to be funded and/or steered as an international development, nonprofit, community-led, foundation, or government initiative, we* support you through our consulting services as well as advisory services and coaching related to:
- monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for purposes of accountability, program learning and adaptation, and communications;
- value-for-money (VfM); and
- overall management for results (MfR).
Grounded in our values of inclusion and collaborative action, we take you from where you are in terms of your program’s M&E/MfR/VfM to where you’d like to be – so that you can credibly demonstrate your program’s effectiveness and strengthen your brand.
Our experience
Our principal’s work has spanned multiple sectors, including but not limited to: agriculture; biodiversity finance; climate change adaptation and mitigation; communication for development (C4D); education; financial sector development (FSD); governance; health; human rights; land; livelihoods/social protection; oil and gas; public finance; and tourism.
Having successfully delivered M&E, MfR, and VfM services for programs implemented in Africa, Asia, Eurasia, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and the Pacific, we have both remote and in-country experience.
We’re excited at the possibility of partnering with you to maximize the positive, transformative social impact of your program on people and the planet!
So get in touch and let’s discuss how we can serve you.
The M&E/MfR nerd at the helm of RM3 Consulting: Kandi Shejavali
The solo enterprise RM3 Consulting is led by me, Kandi Shejavali, an NYU grad and experienced professional passionate about the promise held by monitoring and evaluation (M&E) — and, more broadly, managing for results (MfR) — to support transformational change.
I’ve successfully collaborated on international development projects in multiple countries around the world as well as on social impact programs and international trade policy in the United States. My approach seeks to not only provide program leaders with insights that demonstrate program results (i.e., how close or far we are to the kind of society we want) and that guide decisions aimed at deepening meaningful impact but also to itself help co-create positive social impact.
Why? Because I’m driven by a desire to be part of changing the world for the better — meaningfully and durably. To me, this means moving toward a society that is people- and earth-friendly in the most holistic sense possible. It is a vision that puts all forms of Life at the core and that is grounded in presence (my experience is that being in presence can result in better doing, including in doing M&E better, a perspective that is further informed by my training in the Human Potential model).
And M&E doesn’t have to be complicated or arduous to be effective and transformative. I specialize in the design and implementation of robust yet readily implementable M&E frameworks, taking a practical approach that makes the most of the program’s context and avoids creating additional layers of complexity.
If that sounds appealing to you, I invite you to grab some resources or get in touch so we can talk about how we might collaborate.
A P.S. OR TWO:
p.s. You can read more about my approach to M&E in this interview granted to the team at TolaData (where you’ll learn that, aside from M&E/MfR, I also like to read and dance and eat good food…yes, M&E/MfR nerds dance, too!).
p.p.s. This is what one of my clients said about collaborating with me: “Ms. Shejavali quickly took ownership of her responsibilities and carried them out with the highest level of professionalism and efficiency. First and foremost, she was able to establish productive relationships with a diversity of development partners. … These relationships were sustained throughout and beyond Ms. Shejavali’s stay…, reflective of her strong interpersonal and negotiation skills, warm and friendly personality, responsiveness to explicit and implicit issues, and comprehensive technical knowledge of development issues.” – Multilateral client (multi-sectoral program in sub-Saharan Africa).

NOTES:
*The royal “we” used on this website and on other RM3 Consulting platforms mostly refers to me, Kandi Shejavali, M&E/MfR nerd and sole owner of RM3 Consulting. The “we” is used not because I’m acting royal 😊 but for enhanced noun/pronoun agreement and also to convey the eventuality of putting a team together for assignments necessitating a team rather than an individual expert.
