Luísa Diogo

thumb| Luísa Dias Diogo (11 April 1958 – 16 January 2026) was a Mozambican politician who served as Prime Minister of Mozambique from February 2004 to January 2010. She replaced Pascoal Mocumbi, who had been prime minister for the previous nine years. Before becoming prime minister, she was Minister of Planning and Finance, and she continued to hold that post until February 2005. She was the first female prime minister of Mozambique. Diogo represents the party FRELIMO, which has ruled the country since independence in 1975. Quote I work with Harvard University United States, I teach leadership to ministers all over the world. There are countries in which in order for you to continue to work well and at ease you seek the reaffirmation of trust. I'm saying that normally in countries where there is a culture of accountability, professional pride and merit, you have to start feeling that merit is no longer being recognized.
