Biography
Leysa is a Statistician and Economist Engineer who graduated in 2017 from the National School of Statistics and Economic Analysis (ENSAE) in Dakar. Prior to that, she earned a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science, as well as an M.Sc. in Probability and Statistics from Cheikh Anta Diop University.

Currently, Leysa is pursuing a PhD in trade economics at the University of Bordeaux. She previously worked as an economist with the trade policy team at CEPII (Centre d'Études Prospectives et d'Informations Internationales), where she specialized in modeling trade and environmental policies. Her projects at CEPII included agricultural productivity analysis, trade econometrics, reforms of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body, exploring different Common External Tariff (CET) options for a customs union in Africa, and assessing the potential economic impact of a trade war initiated by the Trump administration.

Before joining CEPII, Leysa served as a Senior Associate Scientist at AKADEMIYA2063, where she contributed to several impactful initiatives. These included the development of a Scorecard to support regional agri-food trade integration in West Africa, the African Agricultural Trade Monitor (AATM), assessments of the Ukraine/Russia crisis and its implications for food and agriculture markets in sub-Saharan Africa, analyses of the macroeconomic effects of trade disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluations of Eastern Africa’s agricultural sector competitiveness, and the FAO Agricultural Trade Monitoring Project.

Leysa also worked with the Africa Division at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) as a Research Analyst for three years. During her time at IFPRI, she contributed to various initiatives, including the National Agricultural Investment Plan (NAIP) Analytical Support for ECOWAS and Southern African countries, the Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP) led by SNV Netherlands Development Organization, and the PAPA Project (Senegal Agricultural Program Support). Her key responsibilities involved data processing, economic analysis, literature reviews, and report drafting.

Her research interests span trade policies, food and nutrition security, inclusive growth, value chain development, structural transformation, agricultural productivity, and the impacts of trade and climate change.
