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.
