Sandra Kayereka

Sandra Kayereka is a Coimbra Young African Research Fellow for the month of October. The aim of her visit is to develop a PhD proposal for the University of Cape Town. Her thesis will focus on human trafficking in Africa, with a case study on Zimbabwe. It will seek to analyse the conditions under which non-state actors engage in and influence counter-trafficking governance. In addition, the thesis will seek to unpack which actors occupy the counter trafficking space and understand how they are using governance arrangements to achieve their objectives.
