Leadership NatCap

The NatCap collaborative program is managed by Martine Visser at EfD South Africa with support from Amin Karimu. NatCap’s steering committee provides guidance on strategic questions facing the collaborative (e.g., deciding policy engagement themes and fundraising strategies). Furthermore, the members of the committee act as representatives of the different regions in the global south and help inform about opportunities and issues facing NatCap to the broader EfD membership. In addition to the steering committee, NatCap has a committee for each one of the four initiatives that it hosts.
