'''Luísa Dias Diogo''' (born 11 April 1958) is a [[Mozambique|Mozambican]] politician who served as [[List of heads of government of Mozambique|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 Economy and Finance (Mozambique)|Minister of Planning and Finance]], and she continued to hold that post until February 2005.<ref>Mateus Chale, [http://www.iol.co.za/news/africa/guebuza-names-cabinet-to-fight-poverty-1.233188 "Guebuza names cabinet to fight poverty"], Reuters (''IOL''), 4 February 2005.</ref>

She was the first female prime minister of Mozambique. Diogo represents the party [[Mozambican Liberation Front|FRELIMO]], which has ruled the country since independence in 1975.<ref>Skard, Torild (2014), "Luisa Diogo", in ''Women of Power - half a century of female presidents and prime ministers worldwide'', Bristol: Policy Press, {{ISBN|978-1-44731-578-0}}.</ref>

==Early life and education==
Diogo studied economics at [[Eduardo Mondlane University]] in [[Maputo]]. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1983. She went on to obtain a master's degree in financial economics at the [[School of Oriental and African Studies]], [[University of London]] in 1992.

PhD( University of London 2011 24 November )
Will edit more regarding Harvard University

==Career==
Diogo began working in the Mozambique Finance Ministry in 1980 while she was still a college student. She became head of department in 1986 and national budget director in 1989. She then went to work for the [[World Bank]], as the programme officer in Mozambique.<ref>[http://www.africaunionfoundation.org/en/council-members/dr-lu%C3%ADsa-diogo Members of the Council: Luísa Diogo] African Union Foundation.</ref> In 1994 she joined the [[FRELIMO]] government as Deputy Minister of Finance under Mozambican President [[Joaquim Chissano]].

In 2003, [[United Nations Secretary-General]] [[Kofi Annan]] appointed Diogo to the United Nations Commission on the Private Sector and Development, which was co-chaired by [[Prime Minister]] [[Paul Martin]] of [[Canada]] and [[President (government title)|President]] [[Ernesto Zedillo]] of [[Mexico]].<ref>Felicity Barringer (27 July 2003), [https://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/27/world/un-will-back-entrepreneurs-in-bid-to-lift-poor-nations.html "U.N. Will Back Entrepreneurs In Bid to Lift Poor Nations"], ''[[The New York Times]]''.</ref>

===Prime Minister, 2004–2010===
Diogo was appointed prime minister in February 2004, succeeding [[Pascoal Mocumbi]]. She continued to hold her post as finance minister until 2005.<ref>[https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB113268199510004291 "Germany's Angela Merkel Joins Select Group of Female Leaders"], ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'', 23 November 2005.</ref>

In September 2005, Diogo was the international guest speaker at the British [[Labour Party Conference]].

In 2006, Annan appointed Diogo to co-chair – alongside [[Shaukat Aziz]] and [[Jens Stoltenberg]] – a [[High-level Panel on United Nations Systemwide Coherence]], which was set up to explore how the [[United Nations]] system could work more coherently and effectively across the world in the areas of development, humanitarian assistance and the environment.<ref>[https://www.un.org/events/panel/html/page1.html High-level panel on UN System-wide Coherence – panel composition] [[United Nations]].</ref> She was also a member of the Commission on Effective Development Cooperation with Africa which was set up by the [[Prime Minister of Denmark|Prime Minister]] [[Anders Fogh Rasmussen]] of [[Denmark]] and held meetings between April and October 2008.<ref>[http://www.ft.dk/samling/20072/lovforslag/l188/pgf/6/spm/1/svar/570287/594322.pdf Commission on Effective Development Cooperation with Africa] [[Folketing]].</ref>

After reports that some farmers were refusing to leave their livestock in areas threatened by the [[2007 Mozambican flood]], Diogo ordered forcible evacuations of citizens in low-lying areas of the [[Zambezi]] valley.<ref>Michael Wines (13 February 2007), [https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/13/world/africa/13cnd-mozambique.html "More than 68,000 Displaced by Mozambique Floods"], ''The New York Times''.</ref>

During her time in office, Diogo urged the African health ministers to offer reproductive and sexual health services free of charge throughout the continent. These services could reduce infant mortality by two thirds, reduce [[maternal mortality]] by three quarters, reverse the spread of [[AIDS]], and promote [[gender equality]] and the empowerment of women. The target set by the UN was to achieve these goals by 2015.<ref name=autogenerated2>[http://allafrica.com/stories/200609210787.html "Mozambique; Diogo Calls for Free Reproductive Health Services"], ''AllAfrica'', 21 September 2006.</ref>

Diogo also focused on [[gender equality]] and [[women's empowerment]] through a recently launched "Network of Women Ministers and Parliamentarians" (MUNIPA). The MUNIPA network aims to strengthen advocacy and lobbying activities so that policies and legislation are adopted favourable to gender equity and women's empowerment. Promoting equality between men and women is a central concern of the Mozambican government, which has been adopting instruments to promote women's empowerment at all levels [of government].<ref name=autogenerated3>"Mozambique; Network of Women Ministers And Parliamentarians."

==Life after politics==
In August 2010, UN Secretary-General [[Ban Ki-moon]] appointed Diogo to the High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability, which was co-chaired by presidents [[Tarja Halonen]] of [[Finland]] and [[Jacob Zuma]] of [[South Africa]].

In 2014, Diogo came second to [[Filipe Nyusi]] in FRELIMO’s elections for candidate in that year’s [[2014 Mozambican general election|general elections]].<ref>Andrew England (15 June 2014), [http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/d4792a3e-f2ee-11e3-a3f8-00144feabdc0.html "Mozambique investors worry about stability as elections loom"], ''[[Financial Times]]''.</ref> At the time, she was backed by a party faction led by Chissano.<ref>Tom Bowker, Mike Cohen and William Felimao (14 October 2014), [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-10-13/nyusi-set-to-rule-gas-rich-mozambique-under-predecessor-s-shadow Nyusi Set to Rule Gas-Rich Mozambique Under Guebuza’s Shadow] ''[[Bloomberg News]]''.</ref>

==Trivia==
In a 2010 op-ed in ''[[The New York Times]]'', Irish musician and activist [[Bono]] described Diogo as having "the lioness energy of an [[Ellen Johnson Sirleaf]], a [[Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala]] or a [[Graça Machel]]."<ref>[[Bono]] (18 April 2010), [https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/18/opinion/18bono.html "Africa Reboots"], ''The New York Times''.</ref>
