Episode Synopsis "Ep 1. Insights from the belly of the beast: How a renewable energy programme placed social performance on the map"

In this episode, we chat with Thulisile Dlamini who describes her work at the Independent Power Producer Office (IPPO). Thuli, very clearly, takes us through the community development side of the REIPPPP, which is the South African Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme. She sheds light on how policy and practice can help each other achieve effective community development, and be a real force for change.   For further exploring: This episode refers to the USAID learning event (more details found here: https://bit.ly/2IzmiZK) and the Community Relations Connect sessions (more details found here: https://bit.ly/3qEfHP3)
