About my work

Since 2013 I have worked worked with ethical value chains - first for Fairtrade International in various capacities across Africa and for Fair Trade Tourism. As Manager: Strategic Programme and Partnerships for Fairtrade South Africa in 2016/ 17, I also managed a South African-based project for Switch Africa Green funded by partners European Union, United Nations Environment, UNDP and UNOPS. Through various touch points in the project, I managed multi-stakeholder involvement resulting in formal partnership and collaboration with Fair Trade Tourism, the Marine Stewardship Council, Forestry Stewardship Council, Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) Africa in promoting Sustainable Lifestyles and Education as well as Sustainable Public Procurement - to put it briefly. I am of value for this platform because I have an developed understanding of relevant policy framework, of relevant development and obstacles in these thematic areas across Southern African.
