Thirty Kenyans have been selected to join the inaugural cohort of a prestigious international fellowship of thought leaders advocating food security, equitable access to markets and sustainable agriculture in Africa.
The African Food Systems Leadership Programme was launched yesterday at a virtual ceremony in Nairobi and Wageningen University & Research in The Netherlands.
The fellowship programme targets emerging leaders from the private, public and civic sectors to shape the ambitions, agenda and market dynamics that are needed to transform Africa’s food systems, and ensure availability and access to healthy and sustainable food for all.
