Valérie Jans
Planning, monitoring, evaluation & learning officer
“During a community development project I was involved in, we were able to achieve quick and sustainable results in the area of health, by ‘simply’ linking people up to the public health insurance system that had just been established in that country. It was inspiring to see how changing the system, an achievement which probably took a long time to accomplish, through a process that probably seemed far removed from the people it concerned, can have a very real impact on the day- to-day lives of so many individual people. Wemos’ focus on changing the system is therefore something I strongly believe in and am happy to be a be part of.”
Valérie is senior Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (PMEL) officer at Wemos. As part of the PMEL team, she supports the organization towards achieving tangible and measurable results, to further our lobby and advocacy efforts and communicate about our work.
Valérie joined Wemos in 2023. Previously, she worked for SOS Children’s Villages, focusing on a wide range of topics related to child and youth rights; first as a programme coordinator at SOS Kinderdorpen, and then as part of the Research and Learning team at SOS Children’s Villages International. When she was a country programme manager at Dance4Life International, she focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights. In addition to her regular work, she sometimes provides impact management training and coaching for the Impact House/Grant Thorton (formerly Avance Impact).
Valérie has a background in Human Geography (University of Amsterdam), with a specialization in developing studies. She did her master’s thesis on the health seeking behaviour of two ethnic groups in Burkina Faso.
