Chifundo Tenthani is a Renewable Energy scientist with a MSc. in Renewable Energy from Makerere University. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Technology (Environmental Physics) from the University of Malawi.
Chifundo is a member of the team that won the DAAD In-Country/In-Region Scholarship Program that will see students getting scholarships to study for the Masters in Environmental
Health in the Faculty of Applied Sciences at the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences.
Chifundo has undertaken work on Stimulating Local Financing for Renewable Energy Projects for Increased Energy Access for HIVOS People Unlimited (2017). He is a project partner in the WATERSPOUTT Project which aims at increasing affordable access to safe drinking water using solar water disinfection (SODIS) method funded to the tune of €3.6 million by the European
Commission under the Horizon2020 programme to provide affordable access to safe drinking water in remote and vulnerable communities throughout Sub-Saharan Africa and other
resource-poor countries. He also was part of the team that did a review of solar electricity investment opportunities in Malawi for DFID (2015).

In 2006 he was a member of the EnPe Project that among other things awarded scholarships to students to study for PhD and Masters in Renewable Energy and funded the development of a
BSc in Industrial and Environmental Physics.
Chifundo has undergone different trainings in energy modelling and since 2014 is the Country Counterpart for IAEA Funded Developing, Expanding and Reinforcing Energy Planning
Capabilities including Nuclear Power (AFRA) Technical Cooperation Project that aims at supporting the development of national energy planning capabilities
