In this last episode of Permission to Fail we ask ourselves - what now? Over the past five episodes we’ve been on a journey together, exploring the topic of failure and learning. We’ve listened to anecdotes from the people who have been there from the start, explored stories of both difficult times, and success. This episode is about new directions, and the future of SolarAid. In which ways has the sector changed over the past decade, and how have learnings from the past shaped the current direction of the organisation?
In this episode we will hear again from John Keane, SolarAid CEO, together with Jamie McCloskey, SolarAid Programmes and Partnerships Director. We will also hear from Dalitso Judith Kudala, Programme Coordinator at SolarAid in Malawi.
