ASSOCIATE CONSULTANT

Dr. Suzi Milan has an inter-disciplinary academic and employment background, which straddles education, conservation, rural development, agronomy and forest resource management.

During the recent 5 years, she expanded her scope by working for the University of Pretoria’s Department of Family Medicine in a multi-disciplinary academic environment. Here the focus was on sustainable community development, particularly in the field of primary healthcare and One Health.

During the COVID-19 pandemic until 2023, she acted as project manager of two large collaborations between the University and mine companies to support mine communities and mineworkers through providing homebased care.

Following the COVID period, Suzi briefly joined the Frankfurt Zoological Society as Strategic Livelihoods Advisor to the HEARTH Programme, a USAID-funded initiative in North Luangwa, Zambia. Here she supported the local services of community-based healthcare, livelihoods initiatives, conservation agriculture, and skills development, among other initiatives implemented through the HEARTH Programme.
