International development
Local context is not a footnote.
For international organisations investing in South African communities, I bring more than a decade of programme experience close to the people, facilitators and systems that determine whether an intervention works in practice.
Local listening
You can design a programme from anywhere. Understanding how it lands requires listening locally.
Programme localisation is more than changing examples or place names. It means understanding access, language, confidence, community dynamics, facilitator capability and the opportunities available after learning.
I work as a collaborative local programme partner, bringing ground-level insight into design decisions and helping translate strategy into delivery that makes sense in context.
