Ann Mumbi Gichure
Kenya
2022
For the last 11 years, Ann Mumbi has dedicated her life to research and teaching at the Maasai Mara University in Kenya, where she works to influence the thinking, research, and policy around value addition in the agriculture sector to boost farmers’ welfare, improve food security, and spur economic development. Ann’s focus area is based around the huge gap that exists in Kenya with regard to gender-responsive policies on value addition. She is also looking forward to inspiring upcoming researchers using the knowledge she will acquire during the Fellowship.
“What powers me is finding solutions – from grassroots to national level – that benefit the daily lives of our people.”
Area of Focus
