This letter serves as a notification that Mr Sibusiso Gift Nkosi formed part of the Research
Reference Group for the NRF Funded Project titled Gender and Socio-Cultural Inclusion in

Members of the Research Reference Group were expected to participate in an Expert
Reference Group Meeting (11-12 August 2014) to initiate the design of a framework which
would help researchers’ mainstream gender and socio-cultural matters in global change

global change studies. Being mentored by other Research Reference Group members
