Genesis principal in the Evaluation for Development practice, Mishkah Jakoet, has been appointed to the steering committee of ANDE South Africa.
The steering committee provides support, oversight and guidance to the ANDE South Africa chapter. It comprises members who are knowledgeable of the sector at a regional level and have a good understanding of local opportunities and challenges.
In this new role, Mishkah will work with the ANDE team to further ANDE's goals to support small and growing businesses (SGBs) and impact investing in South Africa.
