The American Soybean Association’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (ASA/WISHH) team worked with Ligaya Diaz in St. Louis this week, preparing the new chief of party for her role managing the office and Ghana program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The AMPLIFIES Ghana Food for Progress project, with a budget of $15 million over five years, will improve feed and poultry production in Ghana, West Africa, a market that already imports U.S. soy. As feed production improves and local poultry production grows, so will demand for U.S. soy. Diaz comes to WISHH with previous experience as a chief of party of multi-million dollar projects in Liberia and in the Philippines. She also worked on nutrition and agricultural value chain programs in various countries with a variety of funding sources. Diaz has a Master of Science degree in food science and technology. Welcome aboard, Ligaya!
