McKinsey addressing complex public, societal and government challenges
within a new Firm delivery model. We are looking to add ADH consultants
in our Johannesburg and Nairobi offices.*

Detailed Descriptions
- The ADH develops and implements exciting social sector or

develop tactical action plans to quickly resolve them. Identify and
disseminate lessons learned and best practices across clients
