Chuma Giyose

I enjoy being part of an organisation that not only influences policies, but also remains rooted at the grassroots level.

Chuma is a Project Coordinator for DAG. His work focuses mainly on the Contractor & Developer Academy (CDA) – a social enterprise development programme that focuses on capacitating and providing technical support to emerging contractors and developers in testing innovative housing delivery mechanisms. He holds a National Diploma in Town & Regional Planning from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. To enhance his capability and skills, he completed a Property Management course and a Housing Finance for Sub-Saharan Africa course from the University of Cape Town. His work experience has made him more sensitive to both construction and urban development challenges. He is passionate about using his skills as tools to enact positive change in the delivery of affordable housing as well as to add value to communities at large.
