Megan is a Director in the Economic Policy and International Cooperation Division of South Africa’s National Treasury. She supports the implementation of the Operation Vulindlela reform programme championed by National Treasury and the Presidency and leads the spatial inequality reforms aimed at creating dynamic and integrated cities that enable economic activity.
She has worked since 2012 in development economics, in the private sector for Genesis Analytics, in the academic space for the Universities of Johannesburg and the Witwatersrand, and as an independent researcher. Though she had the misfortune of studying economics at the height of the neoliberal project, she has been on a journey of recovery, wading into feminist economics, economic history and heterodox economic ideas.
She is also a board member of the Equality Collective, an activist and community-centred law project based in the rural Eastern Cape. This work shifts her away from her focus on urban poverty, inequality and joblessness to a rural expression of these challenges; re-orientating her from the abstractions of policymaking to the practice of community-centred change. Megan has an MSc in Development Studies from the London School of Economics.
Thanks to our valued partners and to all the Fellows who continue to contribute in many ways.
