OUR FELLOWS
Hadijah Ally Mbwana was raised in a rural area near Bukoba, Tanzania, but attended secondary school in Kampala, Uganda. She completed her BSc in Home Economics and Nutrition at SUA, and then took a job as a community development officer at Tanzania’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives for a year before starting as a tutorial assistant at SUA. Mbwana then did her MSc in Human Nutrition at Massey University in New Zealand, where she spent two years.
I am very much interested in doing research to change dietary practices, especially of local populations, so they can consume more nutritious foods from locally available food sources,” Mbwana says. “I also want to investigate agricultural value chains of indigenous vegetables from production to storage and consumption.
