AIF’s Workforce

As a food manufacturer, AIF employs laboratory analysts, food scientists,
mechanics, engineers, marketers, saleswomen and men, finance experts,
agricultural officers, business professionals, and many others. Most of the above positions are filled by 282 permanent employees.

Local Hiring

Our policy is to hire locally, and as such, most of AIF’s 282 employees are Rwandan, Ugandan, Kenyan, and Burundian.

Investment in Training and Development

We invest extensively in the training and development of our employees. For
example, many operators and shift leaders have visited factories in Switzerland, Singapore, and Kenya to learn how to implement high-quality manufacturing standards.

Promotion of Local Talent and Gender Balance

Since early 2017, many of AIF’s employees have risen through the ranks of the
company to fill key positions. Our long-term goal is to fill key management positions with local talent and to achieve a gender balance.
