In this episode of My First Job on IFC Audio Stories, Zanele Hlatshwayo, Deputy Program Manager for the Global Agricultural and Food Security Program (GAFSP), shares how she transitioned from law to corporate finance, a shift that sparked her passion for development and agriculture. A farmer herself, Zanele discusses how GAFSP has supported over 90 agribusiness projects in 27 countries, reaching more than a million smallholder farmers, and why private sector investment is vital for resilient food systems and global food security.
