We are pleased to welcome Atlas Corps fellow Constance Munyenyembe to the IFDC team. Constance will serve as a Business Development fellow and brings a passion for women- and youth-led agribusiness to our team in Washington, D.C. 


Constance Munyenyembe has five years of experience in the non-governmental/profit sector. While working for Africa Agribusiness Academy as Malawi’s Country Manager, she helped member businesses find new markets and new sources of finance for their agricultural products. As a Mandela Washington Fellow, she co-started the Agribusiness Hub Africa Initiative. She has facilitated training for Malawian youth entrepreneurs, who use their newfound knowledge and skills to expand their businesses. Constance enjoys focusing on topics of business/entrepreneurship and agriculture, with a strong passion for women and youth empowerment.


We sat down with Constance to ask her some questions and discuss her role at IFDC.
