My name is Kamogelo Motshidi and I am from beautiful South Africa. I am a policy analyst; researcher and development planner. My interests are in development finance and the impact of the global political economy on these institutions. I seek to understand the way I which socio-economic and political dynamics affect development. My interest in this and other matters has been underpinned by my involvement in community organisations that aim to actively address pertinent societal issues. My academic interests include, but are not limited to issues relating to politics, economics and social development. I have contributed to policy insight regarding the role of women in national leadership as well as development finance and other policy issues.
