Diane Sayinzoga
Rwanda
2023
For the past 16 years, Diane Sayinzoga's energy and knowledge have been primarily dedicated to serving the Government of Rwanda. She currently works with the Rwanda Development Board, where she helps develop and promote internal and foreign trade opportunities and special economic zones. Diane believes value-added production is key to transforming Rwanda's agricultural sector and would like to see more women involved. To help her achieve this goal, she hopes to gain insights during the Fellowship on how to empower women better. With this knowledge, she can encourage them to become more involved in agri-processing and engage in virtual marketing of their agricultural products.
I want to see what policies the government can implement to facilitate value addition, such as transforming locally-produced products.
