About

Hello, I’m Sabbir Ahmed, a Research & Policy Analyst specializing in ICT governance, education systems, and data-driven public sector reform. My work focuses on translating complex datasets, digital system audits, educational technology, and research evidence into actionable insights for policymakers, universities, and development programs.

I have contributed to national-level ICT research initiatives (e.g., ICT White Paper Taskforce) including analysis of Bangladesh’s Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) system, evaluation of digital education projects, and preparation of policy-ready reports and dashboards. My experience spans government, donor-funded, and academic research environments.

My research interests lie at the intersection of education data science, learning system evaluation, and digital governance, with a strong commitment to evidence-based decision-making and institutional reform. You can learn more about my professional background on LinkedIn.
