Conversations on African Philanthropy
In Conversation with Samuel Mangoma | Zim Alliance #17
Samuel Mangoma is the Executive Director of the Vendors Initiative for Social and Economic Transformation (also known as VISET), which is a membership-based NGO that offers capacity building, economic justice, gender equality, policy advocacy, and innovative business solutions.
In his conversation with Prof. Moyo, Samuel reflects on the work and journey of VISET while offering insights on how the ZimAlliance programme has supported its mandate and activities. Some of their talking points include;
• The impact of inconsistent government policies on the informal economy's stability and growth.
• The ways that government intervention threatens informal market operations and access to resources.
• Challenges faced by marginalised groups in informal economies.

About the series
After over 80 episodes exploring African philanthropy, we’re launching a new series featuring theme-specific and program-focused conversations. The series spotlights the Zimbabwe Alliance Initiative, which since 2010 has empowered a vibrant civil society through grants, convenings, capacity building, and technical support. Partners have fostered innovative, coordinated responses that amplify marginalised voices, mobilise citizens on critical national issues, and engage policymakers to build regional and international solidarity.
