Ms. Eléonore Immaculée Nyamwiza is a Programme Coordinator in the Asset Management Department at the Eastern and Southern Africa Trade and Development Bank (TDB), stationed in its Regional Office in Nairobi. Her role involves engagement with service providers and Joint Venture Partners around fund management and administration issues, developing and managing the budgets of the department, and ensuring effective agenda setting and smooth followup on strategic and governance-related meetings of the department.

Before joining TDB Group in August 2012, Ms. Nyamwiza was a Human Resource officer at OXFAM GB stationed in Haiti. In this function, she played a key role in the emergency recruitment of Humanitarian personnel in response to the Earthquake of January 2010 which caused more than 230,000 victims in the country.

Ms. Nyamwiza also brought the skills she garnered at Oxfam to TDB, in other roles she has held, including in the Human Resources Department of the Bank.
