Stefanie Barratt leads the Data Standards and Analytics Pillar at Samuel Hall. She is based in Berlin at Samuel Hall Institute (SHI), whose mission it is to develop the capacity of researchers and practitioners in the development and humanitarian sector on data standards, and provide guidance to those aiming to conduct ethical research in challenging settings. 

Stef has over 14 years experience leading research teams involved in large-scale, multi-annual quantitative surveys and qualitative research in over a dozen countries across Africa and Central and South Asia. Throughout her career she has developed a passion for elevating data standards, designing ethical and inclusive models that take into consideration the characteristics of populations under research. She specialises in economic surveys and labour market assessments, rigorous analyses of wellbeing, and understanding vulnerability with a focus on gender. Stef has designed a multi-dimensional integration index to inform durable solutions to forced migration, and led data analyses on the fate of child returnees. 

A Steering Committee member of the Refugee Self-Reliance Initiative, she is the co-author of the Afghanistan Household and Enterprise Energy Diaries, 30 years of impact: An Evaluation of the Mine Action Programme of Afghanistan and the 2022 VAF population report for refugees in host communities in Jordan. She has also published pieces and chapters in academic journals including the Forced Migration Review, Knowledge Matters and the Journal of International Migration and Reintegration.

Stefanie holds an MA in International Development from Sciences Po Paris and a postgraduate degree in Development Economics from the Université Paris Dauphine
