• Communications Director

  • Oct 2022 - Present

  The Africa Minigrid Developers Association (AMDA) is an industry association supporting the scaling-up of decentralized energy utility companies building minigrids for rural energy access across Africa. Globally, energy poverty is recognized as a key impediment to countries’ and individuals’ potentials to lead fulfilling, healthy and productive lives. Renewable minigrids have the potential to ensure stable, consistent power throughout the continent, while also building climate resilience and mitigating carbon emissions. Minigrids currently electrify off-grid towns, parts of cities, rural and remote communities, and are increasingly interlinked with national grids to provide more stable power within existing weak grid networks. I am responsible for leading the development and implementation of a communications strategy that builds up a powerful and coherent industry voice to decision makers internationally and at the national level across Africa.
