Synergy was established in December 2020 to address the great need in South Africa to support government agencies, businesses, nonprofit organizations, local and international funding agencies, academic institutions, and local community groups in addressing gaps in service delivery. These gaps hamper the country’s ability to redress historical inequalities that led to poverty and poor health outcomes among its citizens. The founding group identified key areas in which project delivery can be improved, namely, accurate response to people’s needs, efficient use of project resources, leveraging local peoples knowledge and resources, and building capacity of local stakeholders to sustain the project. 

Synergy’s associates are highly qualified and have long experiences as project managers, partnership facilitators, environmental and social scientists, data analysts, marketing experts, grant writers and grant managers.
