  • Rachel McCarthy

Rachel McCarthy began interning for Mediators Beyond Borders International in June 2021 as the Monitoring and Evaluation synergist. Over the summer, she created a multi-lingual resource center for women peacebuilders who graduated from MBBI’s Global Peacebuilder program. She performed research in multiple different languages, notably French and Spanish, and organized resources on mediation, communication, facilitation, and many other topics. Rachel also translated the Resource Center’s announcements and guides into Spanish and French, and created translation guides in order to expand accessibility. This fall 2021, Rachel began to assist with the monitoring and evaluation work for the West Africa Peacebuilding program. She looks for evidence of outputs, outcomes, and indicators of program impact.
