I am an Agricultural Economist, Agribusiness Management Specialist, and Development Consultant with over 20 years of professional experience in agricultural development, project management, monitoring and evaluation, policy development, and sustainable food systems. I have extensive experience supporting national agricultural programmes, developing value chain strategies, preparing funding proposals, conducting programme evaluations, and strengthening market systems. My expertise includes climate-smart agriculture, food systems resilience, agricultural policy, results-based management, data analytics, capacity building, resource mobilization, and stakeholder engagement. I have contributed to national government programmes and donor-funded initiatives supported by institutions such as the World Bank, IFAD, the European Union, AGRA, and other development partners. I am committed to translating research, policy, and innovation into practical solutions that improve agricultural productivity, strengthen market access, build climate resilience, and enhance livelihoods. Through my consultancy work, I support governments, development organizations, NGOs, agribusinesses, and community-based organizations in designing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating impactful development programmes. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness Management and am pursuing a Master of Science in Agricultural Economics at Egerton University. My approach combines evidence-based decision-making, strategic leadership, partnership building, and a strong commitment to sustainable and inclusive agricultural transformation.
David Kadenge Adolwa
Senior Advocacy, Policy Influence & Strategic Engagement Adviser | Trade, Transport & Regional Integration
I help governments, development partners, business associations, and companies turn complex trade, transport, and development challenges into workable policy and institutional reforms. With more than 25 years of experience across East and Central Africa, I combine economic analysis, policy advice, advocacy, and regional stakeholder engagement. I identify where rules, processes, or coordination are holding progress back, bring the relevant parties together, and develop clear recommendations that decision-makers can act on. Clients can engage me to: • Build an evidence-based advocacy strategy around a defined policy or business priority. • Develop concise policy briefs, reform proposals, and decision materials that make a strong case for change. • Map stakeholders, build coalitions, and facilitate dialogue among government, business, and development partners. • Improve trade facilitation, transport and logistics systems, and regional policy coordination. • Assess infrastructure and public-private partnership opportunities and advise on practical next steps. • Strengthen business associations and institutions so they can represent members and engage effectively with policymakers. • Track commitments and results, helping clients see whether engagement is translating into progress. My contribution is to help clients move from a complex problem to a credible case for change, stronger alignment among stakeholders, and a practical path toward results.
