Introduction

We welcome Theresa Ampadu-Boakye to N2Africa as monitoring and evaluation specialist – and I’m pleased to report that we now have a full complement of staff across the project. Together with the addition of Jeff Ehlers, who leads the Small Grains & Legumes Crop Team within the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to support Charlene McKoin in an oversight role for N2Africa this puts us in great shape for the forthcoming challenges of delivering on the ambition of N2Africa.

Obituary Rev. George Kivandah

We received a message from Kenya Soyabeans Farmers’ Association (KESOFA): To their and our regret they had to announce that their Chairman Rev. Kivandah has passed away on May 3rd because of a stroke. He was great with KESOFA and he will be missed. KESOFA staffs will succeed his will and continue endeavouring to expand the organisation and community.
