About Kadenge Adolwa:

As the Technical Director of Africa Economic and Social Development Consultants Ltd, I have spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives, collaborating with trade organizations, governments, and the private sector to drive advancements in Africa's quality of life. With over 20 years of experience as a development expert, I ensure adherence to high-quality benchmarks and secure business opportunities with influential contributors like USAID and the African Development Bank.
One notable achievement was representing USAID East Africa at the US-Africa Business Summit, where I highlighted accomplishments in poverty reduction, infrastructure development, and economic growth for Africa's low- and middle-income countries. I customize programs to address localized needs, empower local consultants, and achieve sustainable outcomes.
At Africa Economic and Social Development Consultants Ltd, I lead technical teams and manage projects from conceptualization to evaluation, fostering relationships with stakeholders and forming strategic alliances. Notable projects include the Mombasa Port Charter, enhancing port efficiency, and Uganda's Freight Logistics Plan, guiding the implementation of a logistics platform.
I conducted a study on challenges faced by women in the logistics industry, implementing a tailored program to address them. Additionally, I developed a customized export strategy for Guanomad of Madagascar and evaluated the Southern Africa Trade and Competitiveness Hub Regional Project.
Before joining Africa Economic and Social Development Consultants Ltd, I served as a Trade and Transport Advisor at CHEMONICS, empowering East African countries and organizations to enhance their trade systems. My expertise in trade facilitation, capacity building, and policy harmonization has gained recognition, championing private sector engagement and trade policy harmonization.
In conclusion, my extensive experience and achievements demonstrate dedication to sustainable development and proficiency in delivering transformative programs for Africa's economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social progress.
