Our team
Our people are our key to unlocking impact.
We are a diverse, African-led, multidisciplinary team of experts united by a commitment to climate-resilient development for Africa. We operate bilingually and work seamlessly across Anglophone and Francophone contexts.
Our team brings together expertise in climate science, economic and financial modelling, public policy, finance, project preparation, safeguards and gender, monitoring and evaluation and institutional capacity building.
Many of our team members have held senior roles in government, financial institutions, international organizations and climate funds, giving us deep insight into how climate finance systems work — and how to navigate them effectively.
Alongside our core staff, SSA works with a network of interns, fellows, and young professionals, purposely investing in the next generation of African climate finance practitioners and leaders.
