Sad news: Washington no longer with us

Dear All,

This is to inform you that Dr Washington Ochola passed on suddenly on Friday March 29, 2019. Dr Ochola was a national of Kenya and was extremely knowledgeable in many fields including Education, Agriculture, Climate Change, Monitoring and Evaluation, Sustainable Development and eLearning.

At the time of his death, COL had engaged him to pilot data capture tools for the Research, Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for Teacher Futures, analyse the baseline data from the pilot countries and draft a report. He was actively collaborating with various consultants and in-country teams in Kiribati, Sierra Leone and Kenya,  and was due to moderate an online discussion on the RM&E Framework and baseline tools.

His departure is, indeed, a great loss to the international community, academia and above all, his family. 

Please join us in praying for his family.

Best regards,

Betty

Dear Betty and colleagues,

I was shocked by the sudden passing of Dr Ochola. Although I have never met him, he came through in his various Forum messages as a very knowledgeable M & E expert and Development Specialist. We were all looking forward to working with him. 

He will certainly be missed by members of this forum and above all by his family and colleagues in Kenya and COL. 

May his soul rest in peace and may God give his family the courage to bear this irreparable loss, amen.

Abdurrahman Umar
