Tribute to Prof Finn Reygan

Tribute to Prof Finn Reygan

 

Many of us at MIET Africa were privileged to have worked with Prof Finn Reygan over the past decade, with our relationship strengthening particularly over the last few years. Finn contributed significantly through his active participation in several regional research studies conducted by MIET Africa, was one of the initiators of the recently established CSTL Research programme, and served on the CSTL Investment Portfolio Reference Committee.

Finn’s passion and enthusiasm for ensuring the rights of all people are upheld, especially the most marginalised, was infectious, and he was able to influence attitudes for the good through his courage and willingness to speak out against injustice. An optimist with a positive outlook on life, none of us will forget Finn’s robust, joyful laughter that could be recognised from afar!

An extremely proud and caring father and grandfather, our condolences and comforting thoughts and prayers are sent to his children,

MIET AFRICA’s regional programme, FutureLife-Now! is an intervention designed to contribute to the reduction of new HIV infections and the increase in ART adherence among young people in the SADC Region. Its goal is to promote greater self-confidence and hope for the future among young people in the SADC region by advancing the region’s priority goals and commitments – especially those related to education, health, gender equality and climate change. The programme requires the services of an established and suitably experienced video production company to shoot short video clips on key programme themes in two Southern African countries. Tender closing date is 4 April 2022. For more information and to submit, click here.
