About Us

Selkie Consulting was founded by Boru Douthwaite, a researcher, evaluator, and technology policy analyst with a keen interest in the use of evaluation in support of learning and innovation and how research and development practice can be improved.

Boru brings to the company a proven track record in designing and implementing program activities relating to generating and evaluating outcomes and impacts. He has pioneered the adaptation and use of theory of change concepts in the CGIAR as a framework for communications, monitoring, evaluation, learning and impact assessment.

Before getting his PhD in Agriculture Boru worked for eight years as an agricultural engineer. His engineering background helps him bring a pragmatic and design-oriented approach to his work.
