INSPIRE Welcomes Zandile!

We are excited to announce the latest addition to our team, Zandile Mnwana, an emerging practitioner dedicated to driving impactful change within the context of the Just Energy Transition in South Africa and on the global stage. With an academic foundation in Economics and Development Studies, Zandile has a strong understanding of the complex relationships between economic growth, community development and sustainable practices.

Her masters studies concentrated on the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach and Community Development in the Renewable Energy sector, which has equipped her with the analytical tools necessary for addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by communities. Her academic journey has sharpened her theoretical knowledge but also ignited a passion for leveraging renewable energy as a catalyst for socio-economic development – which is a perfect fit for our work at INSPIRE!

Professionally, Zandile has accrued valuable experience across Community Engagement, Research, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Refugee program facilitation. Her warm and bubbly personality is a great addition to the team!  and we look forward to Zandile’s contribution to our projects.
