Kristen Cibelli

Statistical Consultant

Ms. Cibelli has ten years of experience developing and implementing projects in the area of human rights and civil society development. She is currently Program Manager at the Benetech® Human Rights Program, educating NGOs and other partners about Martus, Analyzer and data analysis in the human rights field. She also guides the development of Martus and Analyzer software based on user feedback and requests.

Since joining Benetech in early 2004, Ms. Cibelli has served as Analyzer Product Manager, managing needs of field users of the human rights database and setting priorities with Analyzer and data processing engineers. She also managed projects including Sierra Leone, Chad, Timor-Leste, Colombia and a confidential project. She co-authored the Statistical Appendix for the report of the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission. At the beginning of 2004, she spent nine weeks in Sierra Leone working with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and assisting with the implementation of a household survey sponsored by the American Bar Association's Central European and Eurasian Law Initiative (ABA-CEELI).

Ms. Cibelli worked as an intern with the Human Rights Data Analysis Group (HRDAG) at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for six months before the group joined Benetech. During this time she participated in data projects including Chad and Sierra Leone and co-authored the HRDAG report on Chad.

Prior to her work with HRDAG, Ms. Cibelli served as the Programme Coordinator for Foundations for Freedom, a program of United Kingdom-based Initiatives of Change, developing the program and working with developing civil society organizations in Moldova, Ukraine and Russia.

She also worked with Ms. Tamy Guberek and Dr. Ball to conduct scientifically rigorous research investigating local perceptions of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the perspective of local NGOs working on post-conflict reconstruction and reintegration. This research resulted in the report "Justice Unknown, Justice Unsatisfied?: Bosnians Speak Out about the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia," co-authored with Ms. Guberek. She received her B.A. in International Relations with a certificate in Peace and Justice Studies from Tufts University.
