Christopher Paek

Researcher

Christopher Paek is a qualitative researcher at AIR. He has more than nine years of academic and practitioner experience in the field of international development—primarily in the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region—with a particular focus on microfinance, financial inclusion, formal/informal economy, institutional sociology, and critical political economy.

In his present position, Dr. Paek conducts qualitative research as part of International R&E’s mixed-methods approach to project evaluations. He has extensive training on rigorous qualitative methods including ethnography, grounded theory, human-centered design, social network analysis, and discourse analysis. Dr. Paek has conducted qualitative research and evaluation on several international projects including a study on student dropout and low enrolment rates in Tanzania, a water supply and distribution project in Zambia, and a nutrition and literacy project in Sri Lanka.
