Tawanda Mashonganyika works with the CGIAR Excellence in Breeding Platform.
Working under the Product Design and Product Management module, he helps CGIAR centers and national breeding programs in Africa to design market-oriented crop varieties. This involves linking multidisciplinary teams with breeders to define what different African markets are looking for in upcoming varieties.
Mashonganyika also covers the module’s biofortification and gender components, assessing how these fit into variety design for all value chain actors in African crop markets.
