Freyhiwot Nadew is the Ethiopia Country Director for Precision
Development, a non-governmental organisation focused on improving the
livelihoods of farmers through data-driven agricultural support. With a
strong background in leadership, she joined the Centre for African Leaders
in Agriculture (CALA) programme to sharpen her skills specifically for the
food systems sector, a space she felt demanded a more targeted
approach than general management training could provide.
Through CALA’s 16-month programme, Freyhiwot reshaped her leadership
style and her organisation’s operations. She led a staff restructuring,
fostered a culture of open communication, and introduced systematic
planning and follow-up. These changes strengthened her office’s ability to
deliver results, resulting in new partnerships, including a major project with
AGRA.
