Siwa Msangi joined IFPRI in August 2004 as a post-doctoral fellow within the Environment and Production Technology Division, and leads the global modeling work done with the IMPACT-WATER model, focusing on the major socio-economic and bio-physical drivers affecting agricultural production and trade, and their impacts on nutrition, poverty and the environment. Dr. Msangi has a research background in natural resource management, with a focus on surface and groundwater policy, and has interests in quantitative dynamic economics, empirical agricultural production analysis for environmental policy, and the application of dynamic game theory to the study of user behavior in water markets and other natural resource settings.

A Tanzanian national, Siwa has also studied Agricultural Economics at the University of California at Davis, International Development Policy at the Food Policy Research Institute at Stanford University, where he also received an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering.
