A lot happened in N2Africa in 2017.

A Golden Anniversary for the N2Africa Podcaster – the 50^th Edition! To celebrate we decided to ask for N2Africa staff to select one past article that for them exemplified the N2Africa approach or highlighted a particular key learning.

Ken chose this article from a trip he made to Zimbabwe during the first phase of N2Africa which still triggers and intrigues him.
