Valencia Musundi

Valencia Musundi is a Food and Nutrition Expert at Ke Devries Company Limited, bringing over six years of professional experience working with both international and local NGOs across Kenya. She has strong expertise in food systems, nutrition-sensitive programming, and community-based nutrition interventions, with a particular focus on improving dietary diversity, household nutrition outcomes, and resilient livelihoods.

Valencia has previously worked with organizations including CARE Kenya, the USAID-funded Nuru ya Mtoto Project, and the European Committee for Training and Agriculture (CEFA), where she contributed to the design and implementation of nutrition, food security, and livelihoods programs targeting vulnerable households. Through these roles, she supported maternal, infant and young child nutrition (MIYCN) initiatives, community nutrition education, behavior change communication, and the integration of nutrition objectives within agricultural value chains and climate-smart agriculture interventions.

Her work emphasizes nutrition mainstreaming, promotion of safe, diverse, and culturally appropriate diets, and strengthening linkages between food production, markets, and household nutrition—particularly for women, youth, and smallholder farming families.

At Ke Devries, Valencia provides technical leadership in nutrition analysis, program design, training, and monitoring, ensuring that food and agriculture interventions translate into measurable and sustainable nutrition outcomes. She works closely with multi-disciplinary teams to align food production systems, market development, and nutrition goals, strengthening the overall impact of development programs across agriculture, environment, and enterprise development.

Valencia is passionate about advancing nutrition-sensitive development, evidence-based decision-making, and inclusive approaches that improve food security, public health, and community resilience.
