Marlene S. Charles

I help mission-driven organisations turn complex programmes into structured, scalable initiatives that deliver real results.

With 15+ years across international development, NGO leadership, and consulting — including $1M+ in donor-funded projects with UNHCR, USAID, and IDB — I specialise in programme design, operational systems, and monitoring & evaluation.

I commonly support organisations with:
• Programme and project delivery — design through implementation
• Operations and workflow design — SOPs, systems, knowledge management
• MEL frameworks, indicator tracking, and donor reporting
• Executive and donor-ready presentations and reports
• Training and capacity-building programme development
• Cross-team coordination and multi-stakeholder engagement

Available remotely for consulting engagements and senior programme roles globally. Independent contractor - can invoice in USD.

Based in Trinidad & Tobago.
