Unlocking value in africa
The work of Genesis during the COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The coronavirus will have a disproportionate negative effect on already disadvantaged and marginalized populations. Like many of you, we shall use all the tools at our disposal to find ways to protect the vulnerable societies in our countries of operation. There is much that we can do. And the task to develop strong countries, societies and companies does not stop. All of us working in these critical fields need to make sure that we continue to do so during these times. Read the full statement from our chair Stephan Malherbe.

Genesis is also working with BSA, the PPGI and Harambee in South Africa on the Return2Work initiative to assist business on how to reopen their business, minimise infection and maximum compliance. Click here to access the guidelines and #staysafe and #savelives.

Our Human Development team focuses on building human capital
Genesis has launched the Human Development practice. The practice will help societies build social, intellectual and physical well-being, particularly among the most vulnerable. This purpose is central to our focus on Africa’s youth.
It will be led by Tomas Lievens, the former director of the Social Policy Programme at Oxford Policy Management. He built the programme into a highly regarded 75-person team working globally on cutting-edge projects. He has been joined by Tafara Ngwaru in Joburg and Katie Bullman and Ed Dyson in the UK.
