Meeting the Ugandan High Commissioner

Prof Joyce Chikafunda

Mark Neild, Chairman and Claire Jenkins CEO met with Her Excellency Joyce Chikafunda, the High Commissioner of Uganda to the UK. As a woman, Prof. Joyce Kikafunda has been a pioneer in many things. She was the first women to receive a first class degree in agriculture at Makere University  and was the only female professor in agriculture, food science and nutrition in all of Uganda. She was also the first woman in her district to be award a PhD.  

Being a professor she showed much interest in the academic paper Grow Movement is conducting with London Business School, Booth School of Business Chicago and the Stanford Graduate School of Business. With a wealth of knowledge in scientific research Her Excellency was impressed to see such academic rigour involved in a study on entrepreneurship. Grow Movement is looking forwards to Her Excellency joining a London networking meeting during  #Uganda600.
