Copyeditor, Country Case studies - Newton Fund Evaluation, Tetra Tech
2021
The Newton Fund Evaluation aims to establish whether the goal of the Newton Fund – to develop science and innovation partnerships that promote the economic development and welfare of partner countries – is being delivered. As part of the Final Evaluation, Tetra Tech conducted 11 country case studies in Newton Fund partner countries. The studies explore how the Newton Fund has been working in the sampled countries, and how solutions to economic development and poverty reduction are emerging from its activities.
Emmeline copyedited all 11 case studies for content and flow, including language style, grammar, spelling and punctuation. She restructured and edited all Executive Summaries, simplified heavy technical language and advised Tetra Tech on structural content edits.
“Emme did a fantastic job editing our 11 case study reports for our Final Evaluation of the Newton Fund. Early report drafts were dense with technical and complex language, written by several authors. Emme was able to turn this content into clear, readable material catering to all readers, whilst keeping the level of necessary technical detail. She also did a great job in ensuring consistency in language and tone across all 11 reports so that they speak as one. Our team were assured that what we received back from Emme is the end product. I hope to work with Emme again in the future.”
