Shingirai Mandizadza, Evaluation Coordinator

I am a 4th Year PhD Candidate in the Sociology Department. I have more than 5 years experience in community development and monitoring and evaluation for non- profits organizations in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique. My broad research interests include the political economy of rural development, land and natural resources management, resource rights and livelihoods, and gender. My doctoral research project aims to investigate how land is gendered and how it is central to relations of power that subordinate women in the context of land reform programs.
