Chere Monaisa

I am a 41-year-old South African researcher with more than ten years of experience managing and implementing interdisciplinary research projects with partners in academia, government, and civil society. I am comfortable working with people from various backgrounds from travelling within Africa (e.g. Botswana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, etc) for work and training purposes as either researcher or project manager. Through my years as a researcher, I have led small fieldwork teams, managed research projects from proposal drafting/conceptualisation to close-out reports, hosted training workshops for trade union officials and presented at seminars and conferences as well as appearing on TV and radio news programmes to comment on global labour and economic issues.

I have been exposed to myriad of developmental research issues in developing countries and how various civil society organisations have responded to different challenges from labour rights (e.g. wages and labour brokers) to environmental rights (e.g. coal mining towns) social cohesion (e.g. migrant labour and xenophobia) as well as youth development issues. Technically, I am comfortable working with qualitative and quantitative data on Microsoft Word, Excel, and Statistical Packaging for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
