Tatenda Zingoni has joined DNA Economics as a Principal in the Climate and Public Economics Practice focusing on Social Policy. He is a development economist with over 15 years of research and consulting experience working in the private, public and non-profit sectors across various industries in sub-Saharan Africa and Central America. Tatenda’s recent focus has mainly been on strengthening health systems and facilitating engagement on health financing reform processes.

As a seasoned consultant, Tatenda is highly experienced in stakeholder engagement and management, research and project management, as well as facilitating and leading strategic planning initiatives. He is adept at navigating different contexts and levels i.e. from global platforms, C-suite executives to shopfloor and grassroot engagements.  Tatenda’s main interest revolves around how to facilitate access, whether it be access to information, opportunities, finances or networks within the social sectors he conducts work in (health, education, WASH and social protection). Collaboration undergirds the work he does to ensure sustainability of any interventions, as this to him embodies the African adage that speaks to going far together, and not just going fast alone.
